Summary: The efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems is highly dependent on continuously varying atmospheric conditions. To optimize the PV system efficiency under fast-changing environmental conditions, including partial shading, an efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method is required. This paper proposes a different MPPT control structure that integrates the MPPT algorithm into the proportional-integral (PI) voltage controller routine, achieving high-speed MPPT and extreme dynamic tracking improvements.

Summary: As the penetration level of on-grid photovoltaic systems increases, the power quality of the utility grid becomes a crucial issue, and the recent studies have identified the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms as one source of interharmonics emission from PV inverters. This paper investigates the mechanism of interharmonics generation and proposes a new mitigation technique based on modifying the MPPT algorithm to effectively minimize the generated interharmonics. The proposed method reduces the interharmonic peaks in the output injected current to the grid by 27% compared to other conventional and modified MPPT algorithms.
