Abstract :
This paper proposes a new current sensorless maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for PV generation systems. This control method offers advantages of the simplified hardware configuration and the low cost, by using only one sensor to measure the PV output voltage. Furthermore, its MPPT efficiency is extremely high
