A PI controller is used as an intelligent method for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for a PV system and a boost converter is used to boost the voltage.
Abstract
To meet the future energy requirement and to give quality and pollution free supply to growing and environment conscious population, the present world is giving special attention to natural, clean and renewable energy sources. Due to growing demand for electrical energy and environmental issues such as pollution and global warming effect, solar energy is considered among one of the best options for generating clean energy. In this paper a PI controller is used as an intelligent method for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for a PV system. PI controller has been used for achieving the Maximum Power Point of a PV system. A boost converter is used to boost the voltage. Keywords - PI controller, Maximum power point tracking, MPPT algorithm, Photovoltaic system
