Abstract

The algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using a fixed is widely used because of its simplicity and easyness to implement. This paper presents an improvement consisting in a variable step (VS) applied to the standard Hill Climbing MPPT technique to improve both accuracy and tracking speed. Drawbacks will still be encountered in VS tracking algorithms, between response time and power oscillation.
