Surawdhaniwar Perturb and Observe Method” International Journal
et al of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering &
Technology Volume 1, Issue 5, July 2012 stated the
basic requirements for the MPPT. The main
contribution of this thesis was tracking the
maximum power point using a closed loop system
consisting of some power electronic devices such as
boost converter, rectifier and PV module as input
device. Instead of using semiconductor devices live
diodes IGBT’s will be used

implemented P&O MPPT method with MATLAB-
SIMULINK for simulation. The MPPT method simulated in
this paper is able to improve the dynamic and steady
state performance of the PV system simultaneously.
Through simulation it is observed that the system
completes the maximum power point tracking
successfully despite of fluctuations. When the external
environment changes suddenly the system can track the
maximum power point quickly. Both buck and buck-boost
converters have succeeded to track the MPP but, buck
converter is much more effective specially in suppressing
the oscillations produced due the use of P&O technique.

magnet synchronous generators (PMSG), considering the stand-

 3. Problem Identification
The solution to this problem is that switching power converters are used, that is
called maximum power point tracker (MPPT). In this study, the various aspects of
these algorithms have been analyzed in detail. Classifications, definitions, and
basic equations of the most widely used MPPT technologies are given in the
following sections.

Algorithms
Two MPPT algorithms were considered:
Incremental Conductance Method
› By comparing incremental conductance with
instantaneous conductance.
Perturb & Observe Method
› By periodically perturbing the PV array voltage
and comparing the output power with that of the
previous cycle. The operating point oscillates
around the MPP since the system is continuously
perturbed.

 CONCLUSION
In the Present Work, the maximum power point tracking is successfully carried out by this
research using perturb and observe method. The PV module working on photovoltaic effect
actually improves the system efficiency. Compared to other methods of maximum power
point tracking, the perturb and observe method seems to be easy for the optimization of the
photovoltaic system using buck boost converter. By varying the duty cycle of the boost
converter, the source impedance can be matched to adjust the load impedance which
improves the efficiency of the system.
 FUTURE SCOPE
The project can be implemented in Incremental Conductance method and Parasitic Capacitance
method for the result analysis to get higher efficiency and power output.
In future, this approach can be applied for tracking the Maximum Power Point without using any
type of controller. Hence, reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of the system. The basic
advantage of only using Perturb and Observe method is that when it is properly optimized it can
offer very high Maximum Power Point Tracking efficiency, which is highly competitive against
other Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithms.
