Photovoltaic Arrays MPPT Based on Improved Incremental Conductance Method

This paper analyzes advantages and disadvantages of different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods based on mathematical model of photovoltaic cell and its characteristic analysis. According to output characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) array, this paper puts forwards an improved increment conductance (INC) method which can improve the efficiency of photovoltaic cell by increasing power tracking speed under the premise of ensuring stability of the system. This method is verified by means of MATLAB/Simulink.
