Abstract
The design process for integrating photovoltaic (PV) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with the Internet of Things (IoT) is discussed in detail. Required calculations, popular tracking algorithms, and converter linearity nuances are discussed surrounding a common PV system topology. A buck converter is simulated in MATLAB Simulink to confirm stable operation when perturbed by the calculated values. High resolution irradiance data was statistically analysed to provide the average irradiance slope value required to calculate a minimum duty cycle perturbation step size.
