PSIM and MATLAB Co-Simulation of Photovoltaic System using “P and O” and “Incremental Conductance” MPPT

Abstract

The photovoltaic (PV) generator shows a nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristic that its maximum power point (MPP) differs with irradiance and temperature. by employing simple maximum power point tracking algorithms, we can track this MPP and increase the efficiency of our photovoltaic system. Two methods for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a photovoltaic system under variable temperature and insolation conditions are discussed in this work: Incremental Conductance compared to conventional tracking algorithm (P&O). In this paper, a new modeling solution is presented, using co-simulation between a specialist modeling tool called PSIM and the popular Matlab software using simcoupler module. Co-simulation is carried out by implementing the MPPT command circuits in PSIM and PV panel, boost DC-DC converter and battery in MATLAB/Simulink.
