Abstract

Intermittent renewable solar photovoltaic (PV) sources cause reliability and power quality issues in the power system. To alleviate these issues, flexible power point tracking (FPPT) algorithms were introduced. The secant-based FPPT algorithm does not require tuning of any parameter, making it a reliable control algorithm whose performance remains unaffected even after PV modules degradation. This paper focuses on the calculation of initial parameters and the implementation of the secant method-based FPPT algorithm considering PV panel degradation. Simulation and experimental comparisons are made between a conventional FPPT algorithm based on adaptive voltage step-based perturb and observe (PO) method and the secant method-based algorithm during normal and degraded panel state of operation.
