The study aims to identify the most effective MPPT method by subjecting each technique to numerical simulations. The article explores the performance, efficiency, and robustness of Perturb and Observe, Incremental Conductance and Artificial Neural Network in capturing the maximum power output from photovoltaic panels under varying environmental conditions. Following rigorous testing through numerical simulations, the superior technique is selected for implementation in a grid-connected photovoltaic power conversion chain. This research contributes valuable insights into the optimization of photovoltaic system performance through advanced MPPT control strategies, facilitating informed decisions for practical applications in renewable energy systems.
