Abstract

This paper presents a critical study of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques for photovoltaic systems. After a brief introduction of the key factors for power extraction of photovoltaic panels, a review of commonly used MPPT techniques is presented and detailed with a holistic approach. Then, a comparison of these techniques is made according to several parameters such as robustness, response time, cost ... In the last part, the advantages and disadvantages of each of the MPPT techniques considered are presented. This article can serve as a quick guide to panel selection and MPPT technique for specific applications.
