Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA)-Based MPPT Technique for Solar PV Systems under Partial Shading Conditions

To satisfy global electrical energy requirements, photovoltaic (PV) is a promising source that can be obtained from the available alternative sources, but partial shading conditions (PSCs), which trap local maxima power point instead of peak (GMPP), are major problem needs to addressed in PV systems achieve uninterruptable continuous supply desired by consumers. avoid these difficulties, marine predator algorithm (MPA), bio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, applied this work. The work validated and executed using MATLAB/Simulink software along with hardware experimentation. superiority proposed MPA method four different PSCs on system, their characteristics compared those existing algorithms. PSC outcomes terms GMPP case 1 at 0.07 s 995.0 Watts; 2 0.06 674.5 3 0.04 654.1 4 364.2 Watts. software- hardware-validated results show its supremacy convergence time, efficiency, accuracy, extracted power.
