Abstract

The International Solar Alliance aims to efficiently exploit solar energy in sunshine countries (Suryaputra) between the tropics. Similar pledges, like Sustainable Development Goal 7 (affordable and clean energy), to increase the contribution from other non-conventional sources are in place to meet the objectives set out in UNFCCC. However, availability of renewable energy is an intermittent process and thus requires both efficiency and effectiveness in the processes used to harness them. The present paper aims to bring out a comparative study of the two MPPT methods globally used to maximize the solar energy trapped: The two techniques are P&O and IC. PV module consisting of DC–DC boost converter, MPPT controller, inverter, etc., has been used to analyze the methods. Two-level voltage source inverter has been incorporated to enhance the simulation and eliminate the harmonics. All simulations have been performed in MATLAB–Simulink platform.
