PV Module Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is a photovoltaic system that uses the photovoltaic array as a source of electrical power supply. Every photovoltaic (PV) array has an optimum operating point, called the maximum power point, which varies depending on cell temperature, the insulation level and array voltage. The function of MPPT is needed to operate the PV array at its maximum power ...

The implementation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) schemes by the ripple correlation control (RCC) algorithm is presented in this paper. A reference is made to single-phase single-stage multilevel photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, when the inverter input variables (PV voltage and PV current) have multiple low-frequency (ripple) harmonics. The harmonic analysis is carried out with ref...
