In this paper a new maximum power point tracking algorithm for photovoltaic arrays is proposed. The algorithm detects the maximum power point of the PV. The computed maximum power is used as a reference value (set point) of the control system. ON/OFF power controller with hysteresis band is used to control the operation of a Buck chopper such that the PV module always operates at its maximum po...

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are used in PV system to maximize the output power. In this paper MPPT algorithm is implemented using Ćuk converter in PV system. The dynamics of photovoltaic system is simulated at different solar irradiance and cell temperature and is validated by using Perturb and Observe (P&O) method in Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm.
