Abstract

Use of renewable energy sources is constantly increasing throughout the world. Considerable attention is dedicated to solar energy systems which are interesting due to possibility of direct conversion of solar energy to electrical energy with use of solar cells. However, it is also becoming increasingly important to improve the efficiency of the systems during design stages. This paper presents comparison, simulation, and analysis of standalone photo-voltaic systems in terms of different maximum power point algorithms. First, various algorithms are proposed, and their advantages and disadvantages are investigated. Furthermore, a simulation model is developed that can work as generalized model of many commercially made PV modules. All proposed maximum power point (MPPV) algorithms are implemented and simulated. Finally, comparison of the results based on predetermined criteria is given along with a conclusion drawn from the presented results. This paper presents further contributions in this field as it presents evidence on importance of MPPV algorithms, their quantitative comparison and practical design.
