This paper focuses on the comparative study of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms, with different combinations of DC-DC converters. Due to poor efficiency of Photo voltaic (PV) system and having a non-linear V-I characteristics, with changes in irradiance and temperature, different MPPT algorithms were proposed by many researchers. All MPPT methods follow the same goal that is maximizing the PV system output power by tracking the maximum power on every operating condition. In this paper maximum power point tracking techniques (Perturb& Observe Incremental Conductance) for photo voltaic systems were introduced to maximize the power produced. The MPPT algorithm is very effective, electronic means to operate the PV array at its MPP regardless of changing environmental conditions. The effectiveness of the MPPT algorithm in standalone PV system with different types of dc-dc converters is represented through simulation results in this work.
