Due to world energy crisis and growing demand for energy as the conventional energy sources have become increasingly unable to meet the world demand for the energy. This paper present the design and simulation for maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic system which include a high efficiency DC-DC Cuk converter with an Incremental Conductance algorithm. The converter is able to draw maximum power from the PV panel for a given solar isolation and temperature by adjusting the duty cycle of the converter. Converter can be operate in both buck and boost mode. Results have been calculated by operating the converter in buck mode. The modeling procedure for the circuit model was presented using MATLAB/Simulink Sim-power.
