  • 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.

      @@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).

      depends on the type of power converter used inside the mppt controller.

      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.

    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
      @the7thhokage287 Před 2 měsíci

      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
