Abstract
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method for Photovoltaic (PV) system is implemented in PV inveter and it generate the maximum electric power from PV cell. MPPT method has been studied to have high efficiency and high tracking speed. However, these studies are basically focused on the performance under fixed irradiance condition. Based on the typical Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method, this paper presents the research results on modified P&O method to have a better performance under varying irradiance condition. The modified P&O method can have a better performance under varying irradiance condition because the additional measurements during the MPPT control period are conducted. The proposed MPPT method is verified by using 250kW PV inverter under linearly varying irradiance condition according to EN 50530.
