Abstract
Renewable energy sources have attracted a lot of
research interest in the past decade. Among these, solar energy is
regarded as one of the promising energy sources and has been
deployed worldwide with the installed capacity continually
increasing. Solar-hydrogen systems have been under research for
more than two decades. In such system, maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) plays an important role to deliver maximum
power from solar panels to the electrolyser. In this paper, two
simple but effective MPPT methods are developed and evaluated.
Differed from most of the existing methods, these methods are
only reliant on a single current sensor input to locate the
maximum power point of the solar panel.
