Abstract

Two modified MPPTs are proposed in this study. The Perturb and Observe algorithm, as well as the Incremental Conductance method, have been modified. These algorithms were simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK for both constant and variable step sizes, as well as at two distinct switching frequencies (1kHz and 10kHz). The updated algorithms are compared to the traditional PO and InC algorithms. The most efficient condition for a Maximum Power Point Tracker has been determined by analysing their simulated results in a variety of methods. With 96.26 percent tracking efficiency for non-uniform insolation at 1kHz switching frequency and 97.44 percent at 10kHz, the Modified INC algorithm has been proven to be an improved method.
