Abstract
In this paper proposes the design modeling and simulation of photovoltaic solar cell model considering the effect of solar irradiations and
temperature changes. The PV array is modeled using basic circuit equations. Its voltage current and power voltage characteristics are
simulated with different conditions. It is noticed that output characteristics of PV array are affected by environmental conditions and
conversion efficiency is low. Therefore a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to track the peak power to maximize
the produced energy. The maximum power point in the power voltage graph is identified by an algorithm called as incremental conductance
method. This algorithm will identify the suitable duty cycle ratio in which buck boost converter should operate to maximum point. The
simulink model for solar cell, buck boost converter, MPPT algorithm and PID controller circuit is modeled and simulated and results are
verified.
Keywords : Solar cell model, buck boost converter, Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), MPPT algorithm, PID controller model .

The short-circuit current, Isc = I can be represent by

Generally with the relationship that exists between Isc and Iph,
the output current is given below. From the relationship, output
current is approximately the almost the same as the

This method is based on the fact that slop of the PV array power
curve is zero at the MPP, increasing on the left of the MPP and
decreasing on the right hand side of MPP.
The algorithm starts by obtaining present values of I(k) and V(k)
and using former values stored at the end of the preceding cycle,
I(k-I) and V (k-I), then judge whether the voltage variable is
zero, if it was zero then judge whether the current variable equals
zero. Then if the current variable is also zero. It means that PV is
operating on the MPP so the conductance should remain same
and the current instruction does not need to change [8].

7. Conclusion
In this paper complete model of the PV system containing solar
PV cell, DC-DC converter and MPPT control is simulated in
SIMULINK. The I-V and P-V characteristics of solar module are
obtained for different values of insolation and temperature. The
maximum power is obtained using Incremental Conductance
method. It is observed that the characteristics obtained using this
method is matching with the theoretical and simulations. Also
from this model, maximum value of voltage Vmp, maximum
value of current Imp and maximum value of power Pmax are
obtained. Thus the proposed simulation model of DC-DC
