The conventional algorithm of perturb and observe (P&O) is widely applied due to its simplicity, low cost and easy implementation. However, it suffers from instabilities during rapid changes of weather and/or oscillation around maximum power point (MPP) at steady state. Instabilities occur due to the incorrect decision taken by the conventional P&O algorithm at the first step change in duty cycle during the rapid change in radiation. The reason for the steadystate oscillation is the continuous perturbation and tradeoff between step sizes and the convergence time. This study presents a modified P&O algorithm to overcome such drawbacks. It uses a …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the most promising renewable energy resources that converts solar energy into electricity with environment friendly manner. However, it has low efficiency and high relative costs. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a grid-connected PV energy system should be required to satisfy the load demand. The aim of this thesis is to study, design and performance analysis of grid-connected PV system as follows: • System modeling; that is composed of two-diode model to describe the I-V and P-V characteristic curves of PV system performance. Modeling of PV system represents the main goal in the design …
