COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON PERFORMANCE OF POWER CONVERTERSFOR MPPT USING PAO TECHNIQUE

This research work is mainly spotlight to identify a suitable power converter for tracking the Maximum Power Point, an analysis of MPPT based power converters has been carried out in this work. A PV system is a nonlinear power source due to the variations in the climatic conditions, hence tracking the maximum power point is difficult. It mainly explains about the PAO algorithm based MPPT method to track the maximum power. It also discuss about different types of conventional power converters such as SEPIC, ZETA and B3 based on MPPT with PAO technique. The simulation results of various converters with PAO technique are compared and the result proves the need of a suitable power converter to be identified for tracking the MPP
