MPPT algorithm implementation for solar photovoltaic module using microcontroller

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm is widely used control technique that varies the electrical operating point to extract maximum power available from the solar cell of photovoltaic (PV) module. Since the solar cells have nonlinear i-v characteristics, the efficiency of PV module is very low and power output depends on solar insolation level and ambient temperature. Moreover there is a…
