Modelling and analysis of Perturb & Observe and Incremental Conductance MPPT algorithm for PV array using Ċuk converter

This paper presents the comparative analysis between Perturb & Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance algorithm for extracting the power from Photovoltaic Array (PVA). Because of nonlinear characteristics of PV cell, the maximum power can be extract under particular voltage condition. Therefore, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are used in PVA to maximize the output power. In this paper the MPPT algorithm is implemented using Čuk converter. The dynamics of PVA is simulated at different solar irradiance and cell temperature. The P&O and IC MPPT technique is a direct control method enables ease to implement and less complexity.
