Research of the Model and MPPT Algorithm of Solar Cells

Abstract:

According to the mathematic model of solar cells, builds its general simulation model based on the S-function designed under the Matlab/Simulink environment. Presents the incremental conductance algorithm based on the optimal gradient to simulate and verify the theories about the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic power generation. Give the in-depth contrast analysis on the power, output voltage characteristics of photovoltaic power generation, which lays a solid foundation for engineering practice.
