Abstract: Changing meteorological conditions influence the output power of the Photovolataic systems, which affect the overall performance of the system, in turn reduces the overall efficiency. So, to draw maximal power from the PV system a technique called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is incorporated. Two perturbations-based algorithms are presented in this paper are Perturb and Observe (P&O), and Modified drift-free perturb and observe (MP&O). Fixed step size duty ratio is used in both of these algorithms. The boost converter is used between the photovoltaic module and the resistive Load. The simulation and experimental results for 250W PV module are presented. The simulation studies are carried out in MATLAB SIMULINK. The algorithms are implemented using TMS320F28069M.
