Design and Implementation of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of Photovoltaic Cells (PV) With High Step-up DC-DC converter

In this article, a method to obtain the maximum power from a PV array with a specific algorithm is proposed. This method has higher speed and reliability compared to the conventional P&O method. The new proposed method is implemented on a high gain DC-DC converter. The Equations of the converter have been extracted and based on that, a suitable controller has been designed with the goal of high stability. Compared to several implemented practical methods, the superiority of the proposed method has been proven. At the end, the simulation results of the converter have been extracted and finally this method has been implemented in the laboratory with a PV array at an output power of $240(\mathrm{~W})$ and the experimental results have been shown.
