Subhash Sharma, Pooja Khurana, Romisha Arora . Incremental Conductance based Maximum Power Point tracking on a PV System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 180, 48 ( Jun 2018), 43-46. DOI=10.5120/ijca2018917279
This paper proposed the incremental conductance controller with MPPT by means of boost converter to retain the stable output power of the load at the greatest point under two conditions (i) at unpredictable irradiances, and (ii) stable temperatures and at unpredictable temperatures & stable irradiances. This paper presents the detail analysis of Maximum power point tracking on a PV system by using INC method. MPPT controller is connected with PV system so that it can extract the maximum power available from the PV system. There are various MPPT controllers are available such as P&O method, Fuzzy based MPPT controller, INC method etc. In this, flowchart and control algorithm of INC method are discussed. PV system is connected with boost converter to boost its output voltage and the maximum power is tracked from PV system by use of controller, further the boost converter is connected to Inverter and then to the grid.
