The document presents a comparative analysis of two maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms, Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (Inc), for photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems under rapidly changing weather conditions. Using MATLAB/Simulink, the study simulates PV characteristics to evaluate the performance of both algorithms, showing that Inc outperforms P&O in tracking capability and stability during rapid insolation changes. The findings emphasize that while P&O is simpler to implement, Inc provides better efficiency and less oscillation around the maximum power point.
