Review of Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology for Photovoltaic Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

The output characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) cells are usually nonlinear, influenced by solar irradiation, environmental temperature and load characteristics. The maximum output power of PV cells changes with external environment. In order to improve the system efficiency and make PV cells work near the maximum power point (MPP), it is necessary to adjust the operating point. A variety of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods have been proposed. This paper compares these methods and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of them. Finally, the key problems and development prospects of MPPT technology are analyzed.
