Abstract

This paper presents a simple and fast Maximum Power Point Taking (MPPT) for a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system. The adopted MPPT technique is based on the determination of the optimum slope of the power load line. This method needs the measurement of short circuit current of the PV panel. The choice of the whole of the elements of the adopted (PV) system (C_DC capacitor, L inductance, transformer ratio and SPWM characteristics) is made for an optimum PV power transmitted to the grid. The results are validated by simulation in the Matlab-Simulink environment.
