A Poincare Map Algorithm to Determine the Optimum MPPT for Solar Photovoltaic Panels

Despite the large uptake of solar energy around the world, low efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) panels is their main drawback. This paper presents a novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for PV panels based on the Poincare Map technique that aims at increasing the efficiency of the solar panels. Using this technique, not only will make the solar panels more affordable from efficiency perspective, but also the external maloperations cannot jeopardize the accuracy of the plan, as shown by the study. Moreover, the studies show that the reliability of the plan under the standard operation of the solar panel is more than 98.94 %, and is over 97.19 % under external disturbances.
