Theoretical assessment of the maximum power point tracking efficiency of photovoltaic facilities with different converter topologies
TLDR
Two fundamental conclusions are derived from this study: (1) the buck–boost DC/DC converter topology is the only one which allows the follow-up of the PV module maximum power point regardless of temperature, irradiance and connected load and (2) the connection of a buck– boost DC/ DC converter in a photovoltaic facility to the panel output could be a good practice to improve performance.About:
