Solar cells have a current-voltage (I-V) characteristic which is affected by the radiation and the temperature. To obtain the maximum electricity from solar cells, the power converters for PV (photovoltaic) modules have a function called MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking). The dc voltage and current are controlled to track the maximum power point (MPP) where the PV modules feed the maximum output power. A module integrated converter (MIC) is individually installed behind of a PV module to seek the MPP. One example is AC module composed of a PV module and a module integrated converter (MIC). The output port is connected with the ac wiring. Each module can operate with tracking the own MPP. In case of AC module, the basic characteristic of the PV module is well known by the manufacturer. Therefore the domain of MPP is approximately predicted. In this paper, the proposed MPPT method takes full advantage of the known I-V characteristic. The I-V plane is divided into two domains by the square root function. One includes MPPs and the other one never include MPPs. In the previous research, we proposed to use linear functions; the I-V plane is divided into three domains by linear functions. However, the linear functions with high slope are effective for high radiation, and those with low slope are suitable for low radiation. The square root functions can cover the both. The operating point can be rapidly approached to the MPP. Around the MPP, the algorithm is switched to the Inc.Cond. method. Circuit experiments have been carried out. The measured approaching time to the MPP is reduced from 57.1 % to 87.3 % compared to the Inc.Cond. algorithm. The proposed method is quite simple so that it can be easily applied to various MPPT algorithms.
