Abstract:

In this work, the modelling and Real-Time Implementation of a Photovoltaic (PV) System, are performed. This PV system is composed by a Solar PV Panel, a DC-DC boost converter and the resistive load. This DC-DC converter is controlled by a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller employing Perturb and Observe (P&O) or Incremental Conductance (IC) algorithm. This DC-DC boost converter is controlled via the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, generated from the employed Arduino card (as an output of this card). The modelling of this PV system is performed under ISIS. The implementation of IC or P&O algorithm is performed using this card.
