This is a simple model of sampling maximum power tracker. The initial output of this tracker is maximum power voltage
VmpRef
. After that, the sensed input power in sampled by a fixed sampling period. The output voltage is decreased by
a voltage step of VmpRef/n
. If then then actual power is greater than the previous power, the sign of of voltage change
does not change. If the actual power is less than the previous power, the direction of the voltage change is swiched. This way
the sampling maximum power tracker is permanently searching for a local maximum.
