The prototype was built, the algorithms are digitally developed and the main experimental results are also presented, including dynamic responses and the experimental tracking factor (TF) for the analyzed MPPT techniques. © 2011 IEEE.99-104engDigital ControlMPPT TechniquesPV ApplicationsTracking Factor for MPPAgilentBoost DC-DC converterComparative analysisDigital controlMATLAB /simulinkPhotovoltaic panelsSimulation resultSolar array simulatorsVoltage ripplesDC power transmissionDC-DC convertersDigital control systemsDynamic responseRenewable energy resourcesTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/ICCEP.2011.6036361Acesso aberto2-s2.0-800548947136427185658143370
