Simulation of Photovoltaic Generators and Comparison of two common Maximum  Power Point trackers.

Authors

Maximum power point tracker algorithms play an

important role in the optimization of the power and the

efficiency of a photovoltaic generator ‘PVG’. We made the

comparison between two algorithms currently implemented for

the power optimization of PVG. These algorithms are based on

the Perturb & Observe and the Conductance-Increment methods

allowing the Maximum Power Point Tracking, ‘MPPT’,

principle. The study leads us to conclude that these algorithms

are not well adapted for PVG exposures in very unfavorable but

realistic external conditions.
