An Improved MPPT Converter Using Current Compensation Method for PV-Applications

WASSILA ISSAADI

Abstract


The use of renewable energy is experiencing a significant growth in the world.

With the increasing demand for electric power mainly for the needs of remote and deserted and mountainous regions; the photovoltaic systems, particularly telecommunications and water pumping systems, begin founding great applications.

In this topic, the proposed study involves a comparison between the delivered power optimization techniques. Among these techniques there is the technique of truly maximum power point tracking called Perturbation and Observation P&O method, and the optimization techniques with and without sunlight compensation. The last two techniques are less efficient than the first one, but easier in their implementation.

In order to increase their performance, an improvement has been proposed. The obtained results were promising.


Keywords


MPPT P&O; technique without sunlight compensation; techniques with sunlight compensation; improving of techniques with and without sunlight compensation.
