Investigation on Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm (INC and FLC) for Effective Utilization of Power Under Partial Shaded Photovoltaic System

Aim: This paper makes a comparative analysis on two types of maximum power point tracking algorithm to trace the global peak power efficiently with minimum oscillation and less tracking time under partial shaded photovoltaic green energy systems. Materials & Methods: Incremental conductance (INC) and fuzzy logic (FLC) MPPT algorithm are implemented to analyze the tracking efficiency under varying insolation conditions. Results: FLC MPP algorithm extracts peak power of 97.6 W with tracking time of 0.003s while INC extracts 94 W with tracking time of 0.004s. Conclusion: FLC MPPT algorithm provides better efficiency compared to INC algorithm for the selected data set.
