P & O method compares the latest power and previous power. An optimum point can be located by measuring
difference power is zero. The duty cycle of PWM gives P & O methodology. Duty cycle will be increased when recent
power is larger than previous power and same way for duty cycle decrement steady state oscillation is more and voltage

FOCV
In this method, it is supposed that single cell is at the same weather variation as other cells are. Continuous open
circuit voltage measurement is done without removing the module from the measurement. Single cell is isolated from the
whole PV module to measure continuous Voc. So that single cell cannot generate power in output.

Maximum voltage is the assessed greatest voltage, Voc is the deliberate open circuit voltage of the module and
Kpv is a factor of voltage. Voltage factor can be decided from PV module characteristic depend upon weather variation.

This algorithm uses vast spaces for optimization. Natural biological method of selection is used for survival of the
fittest. Different number of samples individually represents solution. Cross breeding process has been done for generation.
Those who are not capable they die out and remaining will exist. From new generation, best member is selected to carry
forward the heredity of good characteristic. So that good features are passed down from one generation to other which is
the best solution.

The most extraordinary power point following figuring relies upon the best power trade theory. Solar variation is
identified by sensor. Panel voltage is sensed and current is defined by the following equation.

Impedance should be matched for maximum power transferring. So junction resistance should be equal to load
resistance. In system continuous temperature and radiation is observed and duty cycle will change according to that.
This method is useful in stand-alone system for maintaining energy generation and transfer from source to load.
This method also used in grid connected system when low voltage generation from a system is required [10].
There is a linear change in power from 0V to maximum voltage and there is the exponential change in power from
maximum voltage to open circuit voltage as shown in a graph. This method perturbs the input voltage in proper direction to
track the reference power. This method can be classified on basis of the reference power. If reference power is more than
maximum power than system catch the maximum power based on irradiation. When reference power is less than maximum
power, then controller change the voltage to track the reference power from 0W to maximum power with taking
consideration of voltage boundary from 0V to maximum voltage. As shown in graph of figure 15 when reference power is
less than maximum power than whole region is divided into four regions, which is also shown in the flow chart of figure 16

∆Vfixed = fixed voltage step. So new voltage can be derived from an old voltage with the addition to step voltage.
In this method ratio of change in current to the change in voltage is to be measured,which is known as
conductance. This conductance is compared with instantaneous conductance for every instant. Reference voltage is
incremented if IC is negative than instantaneous conductance and vice versa. In conventional IC(incremental conductance)
method step size is not fixed but the varying value which changes w.r.t change in conductance. This adaptive step size can
be defined as :
S*exp{M*abs(∆I/∆V)
when the reference voltage is far away from maximum power point than step size is larger and it is closer than
step size is smaller. So that accuracy is best and speed is also high. When conductance is –I/V then perturbing is stop and
maximum point is achieved.

FSCC (ISC)
In this method, short circuit current should be measured periodically by sensor. Which is same as open circuit
voltage method. In this technique, one more switch is required so cost is higher than open circuit voltage method. An
approximation can be used for measuring environmental parameter variation. Isc can be as:
