This paper proposes a method to track the optimal operating condition of a PV module by estimating the maximum available power through a simple linear equation, whose parameters are derived from off-line measurements. The method is suitable for battery charger circuits fed by a photovoltaic module and presents a good relation between ease of implementation and effectiveness. The strategy was tested on a dc-dc buck-boost converter and was validated by experimental results from a 55W PV Module.

Abstract

This paper proposes a method to track the optimal operating condition of a PV module by estimating the maximum available power through a simple linear equation, whose parameters are derived from off-line measurements. The method is suitable for battery charger circuits fed by a photovoltaic module and presents a good relation between ease of implementation and effectiveness. The strategy was tested on a dc-dc buck-boost converter and was validated by experimental results from a 55W PV Module.
