Abstract

Designing a maximum power point tracking system (MPPT) can raise many questions when it comes to choosing the best converter and algorithm for the job. The number of possible solutions can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to MPPT algorithms. New algorithms are often tested in simulation environments only, where the accuracy and speed of a single measurement (i.e., in a single step) are usually assumed and sometimes unintentionally exaggerated. In practice, even if the algorithm is fast, its speed is limited by other factors. This article emphasizes the time limitations that are related to converter parameters and that naturally exist in all maximum power point tracking systems. Additionally, the article proposes a measurement method that enables voltage and current measurements with good accuracy for different transients that exist at the input and output of DC–DC converters.
