| Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to discuss a modeling and control of stand- alone photovoltaic system using voltage mode control maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method. The PV module was modeled based on the parameters obtained from a commercial PV data sheet while voltage mode control was modeled using simulink block model. A DC-DC boost converter was chosen to step-up and regulates the input DC voltage of the PV module. The voltage mode control (VMC) maximum power point tracking model was simulated and compared with perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracker in order to validate the performance of output results. Results showed that the voltage mode control maximum power point tracking model yields the similar performance as produced by the photovoltaic system controlled by perturb and observe maximum power point tracking algorithm. The simulation is made to analyze the voltage, current and power generated under the changing irradiant and temperature condition. As a conclusion, the voltage mode control technique is possible to implement which yields the similar performance as the results from conventional MPPT method. |
