Maximum power point tracking by the technique of the extended Kalman filter

The Maximum Power Point Tracker plays a very important role in obtaining the maximum power output of a solar system, because it allows to ensure optimal operation of a photovoltaic system, whatever the conditions of climate variations. In this sense, we present in this paper, a new technique of tracking based on the extended Kalman filter. The results thus obtained, under different conditions of operation, show a clear improvement of the performance of the controler MPPT of a photovoltaic system using the controller on the basis of the extended Kalman filter.
