Abstract

In this paper, different methods were used to track the maximum power point of output power of photovoltaic cells (PV) by MATLAB/Simulink. First of all, the PV and Boost circuit models were built. The output change of voltage and current could be detected when light intensity was changed. Secondly, four circuits of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of PV were designed. The four methods are perturbation and observation method, Incremental conductance method, fuzzy control method and neural network method. Then, all the models were built and simulated. According to simulation results, the maximum output power changed with light intensity differently. In the end, a comparative study of the maximum power output waveform of various methods was made. The experimental results show that using neural network method can complete MPPT more quickly and more accurately.
