MPPT stands for maximum power point tracking, which is often used to increase the production of variable power sources, like solar panels or wind turbines. In this video, we'll take a look at what it is.

@AKIOTV 8 ай бұрын

@@electrical-sajid yes, P = I x V. But that doesn't mean the power is constant. If I draw 2x as much current, that lowers the voltage, but not necessarily by a factor of 0.5. (As you can see in the I-V curve of the solar panel).

@kymcainday6677 19 күн бұрын

But what if that specific point of Maximum power outputs voltage higher than the maximum voltage required for the battery? do we need to reduce the duty cycle to lower the voltage even though it is going to reduce the maximum power? Do we need to use dual buck/boost converter where the first one at he first stage tracks maximum power and the other one at the second stage controls specific voltage and current required for the battery? But my concern in having that kind of configuration is the efficiency, because if both converter is rated with 90% efficiency, then having them both in such setup will render 80% of efficiency, 10% reduction from each of them.

depends on the type of power converter used inside the mppt controller. In theory it's perfectly possible but most manufacturers' implementations are require the solar voltage to be > battery voltage. You can find out on the datasheet of the controller.

Ok, power is the product of voltage by current. Can you tell me, why do I care about this equation, if on the other end I have batteries, and whatever I put there, it is going to be consumed anyway? Why do I need to balance anything? Do you balance anything when you empty one bucket to fill another? Even if it drops to near-zero voltage, the destination is going to take anything and consume it. So , why do I care ???? Any answer? My dear expert? I can use a step down module and convert any power from the panel to the battery and as long as the voltage stays slightly above the combined voltage of all battery cells, the current is going to be consumed, in any amount. The electrical energy is going to be used to make corresponding chemical bonds to create a higher potential difference between the cathode and the anode, and that is it, why do I need an MPPT device? As long as my controlling logic gives an efficiency above 90% (and you do that by using higher frequency controller) I don't need to pay the big bucks for an MPPT device. A decent PWM will work fine. Who created all this MPPT marketing propaganda, I wonder?

@psykopat81 8 ай бұрын

Let's say there is a solar panel that provides 12 volts and a 1.5 amp power (18 watt max). How does the system work when the weather is cloudy, let's say the power of that panel drops to 5 watts, how does the mppt device adjust this? e.g. dropping voltage to 5v and ampere to 1 amp ? or dropping voltage to 10v and ampere to 0.5 amp ? or something else ..

@the7thhokage287 3 ай бұрын

You missed a point there, the power isn't constant, I can't say it's 10 watt pv so it can give 5v 2 Amps or 10v 1 amps, we say because of the weather condition and load profile, the volt is 10 V and the current is 1 Amp which will lead to 10 watt power, so for your example, if the voltage and current drops to 5V 1 amp, the mppt can lower the current to 0.5 so the voltage will be let's say 14 V so the new power is 7 watt (as you can see the IV curve isn't linear), or it can lower the voltage to 3 and get 3 amps so the new power is 9 watts, so mppt continues adjusting value of volt and amp by changing the mppt input resistance until it reaches the maximum possible power

@AKIOTV Жыл бұрын

You could build a double-input mppt device, which is essentially just two mppt controllers in one box. (Although one microcontroller could operate both power converters given it's fast enough.) Connecting the sources in parallel/series won't work, because two different types of power source probably won't have the same mpp, so connecting both to a single input would give you poor performance on both.
