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 ...

The characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) panels in the field conditions are to be obtained using a fast varying load. The paper presents a simple electronic load for testing a set of PV panels using linear metal oxide field effect transistors (MOSFETs). The proposed test set up gives the current versus voltage and power versus voltage characteristics of PV panels by quickly scanning the load. D...

Now a days the renewable energy such as wind, solar, ocean, Biomass and geothermal powers are getting more attention with the increasing demand on energy, high oil prices and concern of environmental impacts increased. Among them Photovoltaic(PV) generation getting more importance due to absence of fuel cost, low maintenance, no noise, no moving parts and long life time. Multilevel inverters be...

It is a well-documented fact that partial shading of a photovoltaic array reduces it output power capability. However, the relative amount of such degradation in energy production cannot be determined in a straight forward manner, as it is often not proportional to the shaded area. This paper clarifies the mechanism of partial PV shading on a number of PV cells connected in series and/or parall...
