In this paper an FPGA-based implementation of a real time perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm for tracking the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a photovoltaic (PV) generator is presented. The P&O algorithm has been designed using the very high-speed description language (VHDL) and implemented on...

A new method to track the global maximum power point (GMPP) under partially shaded conditions (PSCs), for stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems, is introduced. Two loads, static and dynamic, have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of the method under different PSCs. Simulation results show...
