Abstract
Abstract Power quality issues are one of the challenges associated with increasing photovoltaic power generation. In this study, three maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods are implemented for a photovoltaic system connected to a case network – incremental conductance (IC), perturb and observe (P&O) and fractional open circuit (FOC). Experimental data of solar irradiance is used as an input to the PV array in the system. Comparison based on the power extracted from the PV system and the flicker indices measured from the grid voltage with each technique is conducted. From analysis, it can be seen that P&O and IC methods give the best results with respect to power and flicker indices.
