Abstract—This paper presents real time modeling of a simple efficient photovoltaic maximum power point tracker (MPPT) in Ptolemy. The MPPT consists of four components in Ptolemy: the PV component, the DC-DC component, the controller, and the battery. Based on the ambient temperature and solar irradiance, MATLAB results can predict when it is the optimal time to charge the battery. By modifying the PV angle, we can get the maximum solar power. So that’s the real value we need for a real time simulation to see how much power we can get at the end by using Ptolemy software.
