The control of the power electronic interfaces is essential to ensure the high efficiency of the photovoltaic system. In a DC stand-alone photovoltaic system, the boost converter is the most used. A regulator named maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is inserted to control the ON/OFF states. Incremental conductance (In-Cond) is widely used to extract the maximum power point (MPP) from the Photovoltaic panel. It presents more efficiency and reliability compared to the conventional perturb and observes (P&O) technique. However, it presents power loss during the variations appearing during changes in weather conditions, due to the use of fixed step size. Accordingly, the present paper proposes a Multi-step size In-Cond to adapt the PV system to any change of the applied irradiance and to overcome the drawbacks of the existing In-Cond. Indeed, the present contributions introduced two-steps sizes instead of one. The principle is to design a step size value when approaching the MPP and a large value when the operating point is far from the MPP. Simulations and comparisons through MATLAB/Simulink under various applied conditions show that the proposed technique outperforms the conventional Inc-Cond in terms of convergence speed, response time, stability, and performance.

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are developed to harvest and supply maximum power to the load. This depends on the power generated and the MPPT accuracy. Under quick-changing weather conditions, Incremental Conductance (InCond) and numerous different algorithms may fail to track the exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) which may result in significant power loss. Fuzzy Logic (FL) based MPPT is quick and accurate in tracking the MPP, but the high complexity and the implementation difficulty are their main disadvantages. A novel FL-InCond MPPT improved technique is developed based on the features of InCond and FL techniques to overcome their drawbacks.The newly developed approach can automatically adjust the variation of the duty cycle for tracking the MPP with accuracy. The obtained results are compared with conventional Perturb and observe (P&O) and InCond MPPTs for grid-connected mode under fast weather conditions. It is demonstrated that the developed method outperforms the aforementioned MPPT techniques in terms of tracking response, efficiency and the delivered current quality.

Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) has been developed in the past few decades to address the problem of transient dynamics, i.e. primary control, virtual inertia. Many researchers use DC voltage sources or neglect MPPT controller in VSG studies. It leaves a research gap whereas the DC voltage source is an infinite source where in solar PV system, the power is limited and affected by MPPT controller. This paper investigates the VSG implementation in single-stage solar energy conversion system (SECS) interconnected to an aggregated weak grid condition. This paper presents a feasible way to implement VSG in a practical application without compromising MPPT performance.
