Maximum Power From Tct Configuration Of Pv Array Using P&O Algorithm.

Abstract

With Abundant power available in the form of solar energy, it is not only necessary to utilize that energy but also important to extract maximum power from that source and minimize the losses. So in this paper we will discuss how maximum power is extracted from the solar array connected in Total Cross Tied (TCT) configuration using Perturb and Observe Method and fed to an Active DC load along with a Battery pack in order to maintain power to load regularly during low irradiance conditions and maintain constant DC voltage across the load terminals. Simulation of above conditions is achieved using MATLAB SIMULINK.
