A Universal Engineering Model for Photovoltaic Cells with Maximum Power Point Tracking Implementation

Development of a universal engineering model for photovoltaic cells. Presents an algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using perturb and observe method through Boost converter duty cycle control, with simulation verification. First establishes a generic PV model in MATLAB/Simulink environment that can simulate various photovoltaic cell types and specifications. Implements MPPT control to ensure optimal power output by dynamically adjusting operating parameters based on real-time power measurements.
