Abstract

The efficiency of solar system can be improved by adding maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The MPPT is implemented by incremental conductance algorithm with direct control method. This system simplifies the conventional MPPT systems by eliminating proportional integral control loop. Incremental conductance algorithm is widely implemented among many tracked control strategies due to its higher steady-state accuracy and environmental adaptability. MPLAB IDE software is used to program DSPIC30F2010. The hardware for system is developed and individual blocks tested successfully in the laboratory.
