Designing of a New MPPT Technique: A Conceptual Review

ASHISH JANGID, Aayush Sharma

Abstract


Each day sun illuminates the whole earth by rising in east and setting in the west. The parallel rays of the sun irradiating directly gives the best output and hence the panel must directly face the sun throughout the day for maximum efficiency. The designed tracker will be made without the use of sensors and will be controlled using controllers and electric drivers. The system can be programmed to rotate at various step angles as per need and also the sensitivity of the system can also be altered giving much greater flexibility and advantages over traditional systems. The system has been designed for single axis tracking but the algorithm can be extended to be used for dual axis tracking as well.

Keywords: controllers, electric drivers, MPPT, sensor less tracker
