Abstract

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) converter topologies are evaluated in practice using the same basic power components. Extensive experimental verification of the operation of these converter topologies is included. A new MPPT converter topology, based on the Parallel Power Conversion Technique (PPCT), which enhances the energy conversion efficiency in the PV system, is described, analyzed and experimentally evaluated.
