Abstract :

Solar energy has got tremendous attention from the researchers among all renewable energy sources in the last few decades. It is available in abundant and free of cost. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is used to convert the solar energy into unregulated electrical energy. Maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is an algorithm used to extract maximum power from solar PV. Power Electronics converters are used to regulate the power generated from Solar PV. The behaviour of these converters along with MPPT needs to be analysed with load variations. The objective of this paper to design MPPT considering the load factor. A modified P&O MPPT technique is used for this study. The simulation study is done using PSIM simulation software and a prototype is made to validate the results.
