Abstract Any photovoltaic solar generator (PVSG) can be efficiently utilized if it operates at its optimum operating point. Accordingly, many tracking algorithms for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) modules had been developed. In the literature, the Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method and the Incremental Conductance (IC) method are the most widely used. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. In this thesis, a MPPT algorithm method based on analysis of the mathematical relationship between the maximum power points and the corresponding currents at different operating conditions is presented. Several simulation results are provided to highlight the performance, effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of the presented method compared to the conventional P&O and IC methods. Besides, a PV powered water pumping system is presented and discussed as an application of the different given MPPT techniques |
