Abstract
Solar power Photovoltaic systems are considered a promising source of renewable energy; however, their efficiency is affected by varying environmental conditions such as solar irradiance and temperature. This study aims to compare the performance of two commonly used Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (In C), using a co-simulation platform between PSIM and MATLAB/Simulink. A complete photovoltaic system was designed, consisting of a solar panel, a DC-DC boost converter, and a battery load. The results showed that the Incremental Conductance algorithm outperformed in terms of accuracy increased by 3.5%, response speed, and steady-state stability, while the P&O algorithm excelled in simplicity and low computational cost.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is essential for maximizing photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion under variable irradiance and temperature. Conventional perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC) algorithms are simple to implement but may exhibit slow convergence, steady-state oscillations, and redu...

Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation requires continuous maximum power point tracking (MPPT) because the PV current-voltage characteristic changes nonlinearly with irradiance, temperature, mismatch and partial shading. This methodology paper develops a reproducible design and performance-optimization framework f...

Partial shading conditions (PSCs) introduce multiple local maximum power points (LMPPs) in photovoltaic (PV) arrays, causing conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods to converge to suboptimal operating points and reduce energy harvesting. This paper proposes a power drop guided incremental conductance...
PV arrays has non-linear I-V characteristic and its output power generally depends upon environmental conditions such a solar radiation and temperature. There is a point on I-V, P-V characteristic curve of PV array which is called as Maximum Power Point (MPP), in which the PV system produces its maximum output power. L...
Flexible power point tracking (FPPT) is emerging alongside maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to adjust power output based on grid demand rather than solely maximizing it. This article presents an FPPT algorithm that operates effectively under partial shading conditions. By modifying the voltage window search MPPT alg...

Fluctuations in solar irradiance have a pronounced effect on the power quality of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. In low irradiance conditions, excessive Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) may occur, potentially triggering system disconnection when the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 5% limit i...
