Abstract

In order to maximize the use of solar energy, this paper focuses on the PV power generation system, which includes modeling of PV systems and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods for PV arrays. Using the software Matlab/Simulink, a model of solar energy power generation system with MPPT control based on fixed step perturbation and observation method is obtained. Using the Embedded Matlab Function module, the core function of MPPT is achieved. The MPPT control is realized by means of Matlab simulation.
