Summary/Abstract: In education in the majoring of Energetics at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Rzeszow University of Technology, special attention is paid to the knowledge of renewable energy carriers. This article explores various MPPT techniques lectured in “Unconventional energy sources”. The use of renewable energy resources requires the use of energy converters. The power generated by photovoltaic modules or wind generators is dependent on the point at which the current-voltage characteristics work. For control of the optimum voltage and current values for which the power produced by the PV module is highest, the MPPT algorithm is the equivalent of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm.
