One of these methods proposes the use of tracking by direct estimation of the maximum power point resistance using irradiance measurement processing. It proposes six different models for this estimate. In the present work, an exhaustive analysis to determine the robustness and accuracy of the different models was carried out. To perform the analysis, irradiance data sets, used to fit the parameters of the models, were collected. In addition, tests were done to determine MPP tracking accuracy of each of the six models. To carry out the tests, all models were compared with a widely used maximum power point tracking algorithm, perturb &amp; observe, for different values of irradiance, temperature, and load.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20247247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,17]],"date-time":"2020-12-17T10:42:47Z","timestamp":1608201767000},"page":"7247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Robustness and Tracking Efficiency of Maximum Power Point in Photovoltaic Generators, Using Estimation of the Maximum Power Point Resistance by Irradiance Measurement Processing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4726-3548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"R\u00edos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Electr\u00f3nica, de Sistemas Inform\u00e1ticos y Autom\u00e1tica, Universidad de Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Manuel","family":"Enrique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Electr\u00f3nica, de Sistemas Inform\u00e1ticos y Autom\u00e1tica, Universidad de Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2593-7989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio Javier","family":"Barrag\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Electr\u00f3nica, de Sistemas Inform\u00e1ticos y Autom\u00e1tica, Universidad de Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0631-0021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"And\u00fajar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Electr\u00f3nica, de Sistemas Inform\u00e1ticos y Autom\u00e1tica, Universidad de Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1016\/j.solener.2006.06.006","article-title":"Theoretical Assessment of the Maximum Power Point Tracking Efficiency of Photovoltaic Facilities with Different Converter Topologies","volume":"81","author":"Enrique","year":"2007","journal-title":"Sol.
