A low cost maximum power point tracker with the hybrid algorithm that uses temperature measurement

In this paper a low cost maximum power point tracker is tested in a simulations and in the testing environment. The device consists of a regular integrated dc-dc converter, MSP430 microcontroller with a special maximum power point tracking algorithm built in. The algorithm uses temperature measurement to increase the tracking speed and allows to track the global maximum power point in partial shading conditions. Additionally, the implemented method is adaptative that allows to use any solar panel and provide correct tracking property with the change of the solar parameters.
