3.1. Constant voltage method Constant voltage method is based on the observation that the maximum power point occurs between 72% and 78% of the open circuit voltage Voc, for the standard atmospheric condition. The solar PV module always operates at the constant voltage in this range , .
This technology can stabilize the operating point of the photovoltaic array at the maximum power output point, thus Traditional MPPT methods include perturbation and observation method (P&O) , incremental conductance method (INC) , constant voltage tracking (CVT) , etc.
In the constant voltage method the PV array operates at the constant voltage and in this method PV array operates at the constant current. The maximum power point arrives between 78% and 92% of the short circuit current Isc thus the sensed parameter is short circuit current.
The technique is most commonly used with photovoltaic (PV) solar systems but can also be used with wind turbines, optical power transmission and thermophotovoltaics. PV solar systems have varying relationships to inverter systems, external grids, battery banks, and other electrical loads.
Example: constant voltage method is less complex as compared to the P&O method. 4.4. Sensor required The control parameter or sensed parameter required to find out the point of maximum power such as Voltage (V), Current (I), Temperature (T) or may be combination of these three.
A photovoltaic (PV) module has non-linear I – V (current–voltage) characteristics and its P – V (power–voltage) characteristics shows that there exist only one point (Pmax) where the module deliver maximum power as shown in Fig. 1. This point also varies with the change in insolation and temperature as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

Controllers can follow several strategies to optimize power output. MPPTs may switch among multiple algorithms as conditions dictate. In this method the controller adjusts the voltage from the array by a small amount and measures power; if the power increases, further adjustments in that direction are tried until power no longer increases. This is called perturb and observe (P&O) and is most common, although this metho…
