Abstrakt: Incremental Conductance (IC) technique is a cheap, and easy algorithm to implement for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). However, the IC technique usually takes time and suffers some delay to approach the MPP if the voltage is not near to the MPP or when subjected to rapid change in irradiance. In this paper, IC technique was implemented and compared to the modified Incremental Conductance technique (MIC) under various environmental conditions such as standard test conditions (STC) and partial shading conditions. Also the MIC method was compared to a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) MPPT technique in order to evaluate the best and the accurate controller for the MPPT for different weather conditions. Results show that using FLC and MIC techniques are efficient for MPPT and may increase the PV system stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
