Abstract

This paper proposes a nonlinear control of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of stand-alone photovoltaic systems (PV) based on synergetic control technique (SCT). This technique has controllable dynamics towards the origin and no chattering compared to sliding mode control (SMC). Mathematical model is presented and performance comparison to SMC is tested under different environmental conditions and step load.
