Table 1 Parameters used to compare MPPT algorithms
From: A review study of photovoltaic array maximum power tracking algorithms
Parameters | Statement |
|---|---|
PV array dependent/independent | Methods can be applied to any PV array with or without the knowledge of its configuration and parameter values |
True MPPT | The MPPT algorithm can operate at maxima or others. If the actual MPP is not the true MPP, then the output power will be less than the expected one actually |
Types of circuitry | Analog or digital |
Periodic tuning | Is there an oscillation around the MPP or not |
Convergence speed | It is the amount of time required to reach MPP |
Implementation complexity | This standard describes the method in general |
Sensors | It depends on the number of variables under consideration |
