Abstract


In the first part of this paper, the photovoltaic (PV) panel-to-DC/DC converter interface was studied experimentally and by simulation. Quantities were defined to characterize the properties of the signals being DC with proper AC component due to the switching in the converter. In the second part an improved maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm and also the results of its implementation into the standalone PV system were presented.
