MPPT techniques based dc-dc boost converter for grid connected photovoltaic system

Solar photovoltaic systems play a pivotal role in renewable energy generation, offering a sustainable and envi- ronmentally friendly alternative to conventional power sources. Maximizing the power output of photovoltaic arrays is essential for unlocking their full potential as renewable energy sources. Maximum power point tracking methods continuously monitor and adjust the PV array’s operating point to track the maximum power point on the voltage-current curve, thus boosting system efficiency. This paper explores the utilization of maximum power point tracking techniques to optimize the performance of solar photovoltaic systems. The integration of a DC-DC boost converter facilitates this process by dynamically adjusting the voltage in response to variations in temperature and irradiance levels, ensuring optimal power extraction from the solar array.In this paper, the two commonly employed algorithms such as incremen- tal conductance and perturbation and observation, are discussed for their effectiveness, adaptability and ease of implementation even under light and wind speed variations.
