Abstract
There are some downsides to the conventional P&O technique. A significant disadvantage is that it takes more time to reach MPPT, so ample power went lost throughout the day. Multiple ways to describe the P&O algorithms helps to track the MPPT faster than the traditional P&O approach with improved output efficiency by providing accurate duty cycle value into the DC-to-DC converter. Hence, this paper mainly discusses the performance comparison of P&O techniques in two different ways: fixed steps size (FSS) duty cycle and variable steps size (VSS) duty cycle.
