Results & Discussion


In the above equations the PV output current is in nonlinear relation with the PV array
terminal voltage. Due to the nonlinear terms, the I-V characteristic curve has a single peak
power point. At a particular voltage of the PV array the I-V characteristic has maximum
power point. To operate the PV array at its MPP, an MPPT algorithm is required.
