Design and Development of Hybrid Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm for Photovoltaic Cell

Photovoltaic system (PV systems) uses solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. Maximum Power Point Technique (MPPT) is mostly used to measure the efficiency PV system. The main objective of MPPT is to process data (Voltage and current) accumulated from the PV array and propose the proper resistance to get maximum power under any environmental conditions. In this paper we have designed and developed new algorithm for finding the Maximum Power Point of PV cell by hybridizing the usual techniques for finding the maximum power point that are “Perturb and Observe” and “Incremental conductance” to overcome their advantages and disadvantage which they have over each other. Moreover designed algorithm is developed using matlab and will be validate using real time data from the PV cell and the output will be compared with current algorithms.
