  • Abstract
    Most of the existing MPPT algorithms suffer from the drawback of being slow or wrong tracking. Due to this the utilization efficiency is reduced. MPPT is used to maximize the output from the PVarray by tracking continuously the maximum power point. Among all MPPT methods, Perturb and Observe (P&O) method is used for its simplicity. In this paper Perturb and Observe method is used. But it moves the operating point far from the maximum point due to rapidly changing condition. In order to bring the operating point to the maximum, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to improve the efficiency by detecting the atmospheric condition.
