Implementation and Validation of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of the Photovoltaic System on Arduino Microcontroller
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In this research paper, we introduce real-time implementation, using Matlab and Simulink environments. The purpose is to study our proposed system, consisting of a photovoltaic, boost converter, and Arduino mega board. The latter communicates with the physical environment from the current and voltage sensors and executes the proposed MPPT commands (perturb-and-observe, short circuit current, incremental conductance, and open circuit voltage), varying the duty cycle of the signal PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) static converter.
