Change the amount of current that we are drawing from the solar.
If the power goes up, keep changing the current in the same direction: Increase Keep Increasing Decrease Keep Decreasing
If the power goes down, change the direction: Increase Decrease Decrease Increase

Perturb and Observe
If we are to the right of the MPP, then increasing I decreases the power. If we are to the left of the MPP, then increasing I increases the power. If we are to the right of the MPP, then decreasing I increases the power. If we are to the left of the MPP, then decreasing I decreases the power.

P&O Issues Obviously this simple algorithm can be fooled
by local maxima. It gets much more complicated when the I-V
curve changes with insolation and temperature. Always stepping the current or voltage results in
the algorithm oscillating about the MPP. To reduce oscillations, need a small step.
When far away from the MPP, need a large step to converge quickly.
To fix, use a variable step size.15

Incremental Conductance
The incremental conductance method is based on the fact that the slope of the PV array power curve is zero at the MPP, positive on the left of the MPP, and negative on the right, as given by dP/dV = 0, at MPP dP/dV > 0, left of MPP dP/dV < 0, right of MPP.

Incremental Conductance
Since
Our conditions can be written as dP/dV = 0, ΔI/ Δ V = -I/V at the MPP dP/dV > 0 , ΔI/ Δ V > -I/V to the left of MPP dP/dV < 0 , ΔI/ Δ V < -I/V to the left of MPP.

Incremental Conductance The MPP can tracked by comparing the
instantaneous conductance (I/V) to the incremental conductance (ΔI/ΔV)
Vref is the voltage at which the PV array is forced to operate. At the MPP, Vref = VMPP.
At the MPP, the array is maintained at this point unless a change occurs.
The algorithm decrements or increments Vref to track the new MPP.

the PV array, under varying irradiance and temperature levels, has given rise to the fractional VOC
method.
𝑘𝑘 is a constant of proportionality and must be computed empirically for the solar panel. (The slope of our plot from the previous slide.)
