Abstract :
This paper presents the study of the control strategies enclosed in photovoltaic charge control, including maximum power point trackers (MPPTs). It was simulated and evaluated using simulating tool Simulink®. It is supposed to be integrated on a photovoltaic stand-alone systems where it is very important to maximize the efficiency of its power source: the array of photovoltaics panels.
