where Vin and I in are the voltage and current at the PV array
side (i.e. the input of the buck converter), and Vout and I out
are the voltage and current at the load side (i.e. the output of
the buck converter).
Multiple well-known direct control algorithms are used to
perform the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) [1]. There
are at least 19 distinct methods of MPPT control algorithms
with different variations on implementation and performance
[9]. One of the MPPT algorithms that are well known is the
incremental conductance algorithm.
The incremental conductance algorithm is based on the
differentiation of the PV array power versus voltage curve as in
(2) [1, 9].

The simulation was run with the MPPT controller using the
incremental conductance algorithm. Fig. 11 presents the
voltage, current and power coming out of the PV solar panel
which is the magenta lines and the cyan lines which are the
output of the buck converter. The voltage at the input of PV
panel is stabilized at 17 V. As the irradiance is changing, the
MPPT controller makes the power coming out of the PV array
to be kept at maximum [1]. The PV solar panel generate 93.1
W maxim power and the power obtained at the output of buck
converter was found to be around 87 W for a solar irradiation
level of 800 W/m 2 (Fig. 11). The incremental conductance
method has an efficiency of 93%. This suggests that the MPPT
controller is doing a pretty good job.
