Abstract
In this paper a comparison of different types of maximum power point search methods for the photovoltaic panels is presented. The methods that represent each group of maximum power point techniques will be implemented in the software that allows to test the behaviour of photovoltaic panels in different environment conditions including partial shading. In this paper each implemented method was compared including time of convergence with the maximum power point, tracking error and differences in the energy obtained from photovoltaics during the simulation time. The algorithms were compared under both uniform lighting and partial shade conditions.
