Sliding-Mode Controller for Maximum Power Point Tracking in Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic systems must be as fast and accurate as possible to increase the power production, which eventually increases the PV system profitability. This paper proposes and mathematically analyses a sliding-mode controller to provide a fast and accurate...
