A traditional MPPT control algorithm provides a shoot-through interval which should be inserted in the switching waveforms of the inverter to output the maximum power to the Z-network. At this instant, the voltage across the Z-source capacitor is equal to the output voltage of a PV array at the maximum power point (MPP). The control of the Z-source capacitor voltage beyond the MPP voltage of a PV array is not facilitated in traditional MPPT algorithms. This paper presents a unified MPPT control algorithm to simultaneously achieve MPPT as well as Z-source capacitor voltage control. Development and implementation of the proposed algorithm and a comparison with traditional results are discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed unified MPPT control strategy is implemented in Matlab/Simulink software and verified by experimental results 2014-02-20T13:02:53Z 2014-02-20T13:02:53Z 2012-01 Article Journal of Power Electronics, vol. 12(1), 2012, pages 172-180 1598-2092 http://www.jpe.or.kr/archives/list_detail_articles.asp?seq=49&year=%202012 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/32064 en The Korean Institute of Power Electronics
