This document discusses the Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) algorithm, which contributes to efficient utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind power generation systems. This algorithm operates power generation devices at maximum efficiency by tracking the system's peak power point. MPPT algorithms are now widely implemented to improve renewable energy generation efficiency through techniques like Perturb and Observe (P&O) or Incremental Conductance methods that dynamically adjust operating parameters. The algorithm typically involves voltage/current sensing, power calculation, and duty cycle modulation using microcontroller-based implementations with PID controllers to maintain optimal power extraction. These implementations commonly feature real-time sampling, hill-climbing optimization techniques, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal generation for power converter control.
