Abstract

The maximum output power of photovoltaic (PV) depends on the ambient temperature and light conditions. Maximum power point tracking always enable PV arrays produce maximum output power. Perturbation and observation (P&O) is an important and efficient method among maximum power point tracking because it has many advantages such as simple algorithm, high reliability and fast tracking. P&O method is used to track the output power of PV system with the variation of solar intensity. The simulation results show that P&O can accurately track the maximum power point.
