Abstract

The main focus of this article is the simulation and analysis of the operating principles of selected maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for photovoltaic panels, as well as a comparison of various techniques used to address this challenge. The article discusses the underlying rationale for the necessity of identifying the operating point at which a photovoltaic panel delivers maximum power. In addition to the theoretical description, the algorithms were classified, and in the simulation section, the most popular and widely used MPPT algorithms were implemented and compared in the MATLAB 24.11 (R2024a) environment. The application of appropriate solutions among the modelled and tested algorithms enables improved efficiency of photovoltaic cells within panels or larger photovoltaic systems.
