Abstract

The conventional energy source are depleting day by day at an alarming rate. In the present era, there is an acute shortage of energy source for the production of electricity . The feasible alternative is non- conventional energy source. This paper deals with modelling of PV array including the effects of temperature and irradiation. The DC-DC converter is used for boosting low voltage of the PV array to high DC voltage. Since the efficiency of a PV array is around 13% which is low, it is desirable to operate the module at the peak power point to improve the utilization of the PV array. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is used for extracting the maximum power from the solar PV array and transferring that power to the load. Implementation of MPPT technique has been developed using P&O, incremental conductance and constant voltage algorithm has been done using MATLAB based M file programming scheme.
