MPPT INCREMENTAL CONDUCTANCE TECHNIQUE FOR PV SYSTEMS

Abstract

Electricity plays an important role in every aspect of life. Day by day as the digitalization is increasing the need of electricity is also increasing. Till now the production of electricity was totally dependent on conventional energy sources. But with increasing load demand these sources are getting exhausted rapidly. So, to reduce dependency on conventional energy sources we have already switched over to non-conventional energy sources which includes solar, wind, hydro, tidal etc. It is found that maximum electricity can be generated using solar energy. Various technologies are invented regarding the tracking of solar energies. Maximum power point tracking is the most popular technique among all which ensures the maximum use of solar energy to get converted into electricity. This paper represents one such method of MPPT i.e., Incremental conductance. The algorithm of incremental conductance with simulations result obtained in MATLAB is briefly discussed in this paper.
