Abstract
This paper presents a reliable maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) systems. This MPPT tracks the maximum power point of a PV module by calculating the optimum resistance of the PV module at certain solar radiation level, ambient temperature value and load impedance. The calculated resistance is used to calculate the optimum duty cycle of the DC-DC converter triggering signal using a developed relation. Based on results, the proposed MPPT has better efficiency (95%) than perturbation and observation (P&O) method (92 %). Moreover, the proposed method is faster than P&O method because there is no perturbation around the MPP during the tracking process.
