Maximum power point tracking algorithm is widely implemented in photovoltaic system to maximize the PV array output power. In general, Perturb and Observe (P&O) is simple thus being selected to continuously track the array maximum power point (MPP). Under uniform solar irradiance, PV array characteristic is non-linear and consisting only one MPP along the functional operating voltage. However, ...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) electrification is an important renewable energy source. The electric which is converted directly from solar irradiation via PV panel is not steady due to different solar intensity. To maximize the PV panel output power, perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has been implemented into PV system. Through a buck-boost DC-DC converter, MPPT is able to...

<span lang="EN-US">Partial shading condition (PSC) is common and complicated in all types of PV power plant. Therefore, the production solar system would be affected by mismatch phenomena produced PSC. Furthermore, when array partially shaded, P–V characteristics become more complex which causes multiple peaks P-V curve. So, simple maximum point tracking (MPPT) methods such as perturb obs...

This paper presents a new direct maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with reference voltage (Vref) based on the metaheuristic earthquake algorithm (EA) where optimization variable is Vref for hard-switching converters. The efficiency and performance of EA-MPPT-Vref compared perturb-and-observe (P&O) counterpart technique due to fact that it widely used commercial products. Static dynamic re...
