Abstract :
Several architectures for implementing distributed max power point tracking (MPPT) are discussed, and the characteristics of distributed MPPT as implemented in National Semiconductor´s Solarmagic¿ Power Optimizer are described in detail. A general method for calculating the max power voltage and current range for a string with distributed MPPT is presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrating the performance benefit of distributed MPPT over centralized MPPT in a photovoltaic (PV) array with shading are described.
