Comparison of Different MPPT Control Strategies for Solar Charge Controller

This paper presents the comprehensive study of the different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods for solar charge controller application with different converter topology. The system comprising of PV panel, DC to DC converter, charge controller and battery. Different maximum power point tracking methods like Perturb and Observe (P & O), Incremental Conductance (IC), Fractional Open Circuit Voltage (FOCV) method were simulated in MATLAB simulation for proper solar battery charger application and results were compared. This solar charger can be used to charge any electrical vehicle like golf cart. This paper provides the detailed study and analysis of the solar battery charger.
