Photovoltaic systems normally use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest possible power to the load when variations in the isolation and temperature occur, Photovoltaic (PV) generation is becoming increasingly important as a renewable source since it offers many advantages such as incurring no fuel costs, not being polluting, requiring little mainten...

This paper proposes the identification of maximum power point (MPP) function for photovoltaic (PV) module using the genetic algorithm (GA). Then deduction of the required function to generate the reference values to drive the tracking system in the PV system at MPP is done with the aid of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This function deals with the more probable situations for variable values ...

Since the electrical characteristics of a Photovoltaic (PV) Module vary with the changing atmospheric conditions, researchers have shown an increasing interest in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) approaches. This paper presents a direct Maximum Power Point (MPP) estimation method derived from the mathematical expressions of the Current-Voltage (I-V) characteristics of a PV module. Simulation...

The interest in distributed maximum power point tracking increases along with increasing deployment of photovoltaic generators and the constant pressure to reduce the cost of photovoltaic generated energy. Distributed maximum point tracking facilitates a significant boost of captured photovoltaic power. In this paper we compare different distributed maximum power point architectures, and catego...
