Evaluating the Performance of MPPT and FPPT Approach in Standalone Solar PV Systems Under Variable Conditions

This research paper investigates the performance of standalone solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under varying weather conditions and load fluctuations. It focuses on the implementation and evaluation of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and Fixed Power Point Tracking (FPPT) algorithms within a DC/DC converter to optimize the system's performance. Using MATLAB Simulink, the study models and simulates the PV system, analyzing the effects of different control methods and dynamic conditions on power output and stability. The results highlight the importance of precise tracking algorithms for enhancing the efficiency and reliability of PV systems. This work contributes to the development of advanced PV emulators and control strategies, offering new insights for improving solar energy harvesting. © 2024 IEEE.
