Research Abstract

Abstract - This paper presents parameters determination of
photovoltaic (PV) module based on data-sheet parameters using Newton-Raphson iterative method. The characteristic of photovoltaic module are drawn based on the extracted
parameters. Simulation and maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) are developed using Matlab/Simulink. Incremental
conductance (INC) method for MPPT is used to control a dc-dc boost converter with resistive load. Parameters of boost
converter are designed to operate in continuous conduction
mode. State- space averaging technique is used to control standalone PV module and obtain inductance value for certain amount of ripple in boost inductor current at different temperature and irradiance conditions.
