Abstract

Renewable energy found in many forms such as solar and wind energy, tidal energy, etc. In this work, we interested to focus on solar power because of it is clean and the large amount of solar radiation arrived to the surface earth. The main purpose of this article aims to maximize the amount of extracted power from the solar system. This research investigates the connotation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods which significantly increases the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic (PV) energy system. This paper presents a simulation based comparison between two different MPPT methods to optimize the energy conversion efficiency of solar PV system.
