  • Abstract
    This paper introduces a new maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method with the golden section search (GSS) algorithm for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The basic principle and the implementation procedures of the GSS algorithm are elaborated in the paper; and the PV simulation model in Matlab/Simulink is also developed. Then the PV system with a boost chopper is modeled and simulated in Simulink. The analytic and simulated results show that the proposed new method has the advantages of fast convergence, noise-resistance, and robustness.
