A novel optimization of the particle swarm based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic systems under partially shaded conditions

Fpga Based Maximum Power Point Tracker of Partially Shaded Solar Photovoltaic Arrays Using Modified Adaptive Perceptive Particle Swarm Optimization

The paper presents a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based tracker to accurately track the maximum power point (MPP) of a photovoltaic (PV) array. The tracking logic realized on FPGA is based on a modified version of Adaptive Perceptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APPSO) technique. Photovoltaic generation systems use MPP tracker because the photovoltaic array exhibits multiple maxima in t...

A hybrid maximum power point tracking for partially shaded photovoltaic systems in the tropics

Partial shading and rapidly changing irradiance conditions significantly impact on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems. These impacts are particularly severe in tropical regions where the climatic conditions result in very large and rapid changes in irradiance. In this paper, a hybrid maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT) technique for PV systems operating under partially shaded co...

Maximum Power Point Tracker for Photovoltaic Systems Based on Moth-Flame Optimization Considering Partial Shading Conditions

The performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems is highly dependent on environmental conditions. Due to probable changes in environmental conditions, the real-time control of PV systems is essential for exploiting their maximum possible power. This paper proposes a new method to track the maximum power point of PV systems using the moth-flame optimization algorithm. In this method, the PV DC-DC co...

Global Maximum Power Point Tracking of Photovoltaic Array under Partial Shaded Conditions

Efficiency of the PV module can be improved by operating at its peak power point so that the maximum power can be delivered to the load under varying environmental conditions. This paper is mainly focused on the maximum power point tracking of solar photovoltaic array (PV) under non uniform insolation conditions. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is used for extracting the maximum power from...
