Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm in Photovoltaic Inverter Systems

In photovoltaic inverter systems, the maximum power point tracking algorithm employs a variable-step perturbation and observation method, which features rapid convergence characteristics. The algorithm continuously adjusts the step size and monitors the output of the photovoltaic inverter system to ensure operation at the maximum power point. This implementation typically involves calculating power changes by measuring voltage and current variations, then dynamically modifying the perturbation magnitude based on the slope of the power-voltage curve. The application of this algorithm significantly improves the efficiency of photovoltaic inverter systems, enabling better adaptation to the inherent instability of photovoltaic power generation and thereby providing more reliable electrical output. Key implementation aspects include real-time power calculation functions and adaptive step-size control logic to balance tracking speed and stability under varying environmental conditions.
