.PVlib.Control.ControllerMPPT

Information

Maximum power-point tracking controller. Given the DC voltage and current, this controller will output a moving reference for a DC voltage control loop in order to maximize the power extracted from a PV array for a given (unknown) solar irradiation and junction temperature.

The operation of the block can be customized by setting the following parameters:

• sampleTime: sample time of the control block. The control output will be updated with this period.
• vrefStep: amount of change to vref when updated.
• pkThreshold: amount of power below which it is considered that no change in power has occurred.
