Renewable Energy (RE) resources have vast sustainable potential to meet the increasing global energy demand. Photovoltaic (PV) is one of the most promising RE technologies. Most of the PV systems use specific PV model with fixed parameters. This paper presents a PV system consisting of PV model having generic parameters, PV array, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), DC/DC converter, DC/AC inverter and synchronization with grid in Matlab/Simulink. There are many MPPT techniques which are used to track the maximum power point of PV systems. We have implemented Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm for MPPT. The maximum power point of PV keeps on changing with varying environmental conditions such as solar irradiance and cell temperature. The MPPT extracts maximum power point of PV array and feed it to the load via boost converter. The PV array characteristics and MPPT performance under abrupt change of weather conditions are analysed. Finally, the synchronisation of inverter with grid has been implemented with feedback system. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
