Abstract
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are a practical solution to ensure the continuous operation of the photovoltaic systems, maximize the output of the PV system and overcome nonlinear characteristics under all circumstances. Different MPPT strategies were used to achieve the maximum output power of the photovoltaic system. There are conventional MPPT algorithms. Also, there are soft computing techniques to attract the maximum PowerPoint. In this paper, the MPPT approaches for solar systems are reviewed and compared in-depth with six different requirements, the comparison shows that the Incremental Conductance has an advantage over the conventional methods. Soft computing methods give high efficiency, but the effectiveness of soft computing techniques needs users for a good background on how it works, it's more complex than conventional MPPT methods, the essential variations among these approaches are digital versus analogy applications, design simplicity, sensor requirements, convergence time, effectiveness range, and hardware pricing. As a consequence, choosing the right algorithm is crucial for users since it impacts the electrical efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) module and lowers expenses by lowering the number of solar panels required to produce the necessary electricity.
