Abstract

In this article, a new method of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is proposed to improve energy production by a photovoltaic system; this method presents a modification of the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm. This proposed method which is inspired by the classic P&O seeks to follow the maximum area of the curve (P, V), namely that the maximum area located at the zone of the maximum power point (MPP). The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in the Matlab/Simulink environment and compares it with the classical and modified P&O algorithm. The comparative analysis shows that our methods offer a better follow-up of the MPP against the rapid variations of irradiation with less oscillation.
