The control strategies for photovoltaic regulators applied to stand-alone systems

Abstract

This paper presents the study of the control strategies enclosed in photovoltaic charge control, including maximum power point trackers (MPPTs). It was simulated and evaluated using simulating tool Simulink/spl reg/. It is supposed to be integrated on a photovoltaic stand-alone systems where it is very important to maximize the efficiency of its power source: the array of photovoltaics panels.
