Photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine as a renewable source of energy play a significant role in generating electricity in the industry and distributed consumers. The output powers of the theses devices are highly nonlinear which is dependent on I-P and V-P characteristics of the device and also irradiation conditions. Therefore, many research works have been performed to optimize the performance and obtain maximum power from the PV and wind panels. This paper provides a brief literature review on maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for these systems. For this purpose, the PV circuit structure with its mathematics model is presented. Then, recent publications on various design methodologies are reviewed.
