Comparative study of maximum power point tracking methods of photovoltaic systems

Abstract

The aim of the present research is the comparative for variety controller of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic system under variable temperature and isolation conditions. The first controller refers to traditional approach based on the perturbation & observation (P&O) methods, the second and third one refers to new approach based respectively on artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic (FC). The performances of these adopted controllers are examined and compared through a series of simulation witch shown the good tracking and rapid response to change in different meteorological conditions of intelligent controllers compare with the conventional one.
