MPPT with boost converter and incremental conductance

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) using the Incremental Conductance method with a Boost Converter in MATLAB Simulink

System Components

1. PV Array

• Use Simscape’s PV Array block or custom PV model.
• Inputs: Irradiance and Temperature
• Outputs: Voltage VVV, Current III

1. Boost Converter

• Components:
• Inductor
• Capacitor
• Diode
• MOSFET or IGBT (controlled switch)
• Converts variable PV voltage to regulated DC output
• Duty cycle DDD is controlled by MPPT algorithm

1. MPPT Controller (Incremental Conductance)
