Optimization Algorithm-Based Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques for Solar PV Systems

摘要

Recently, researchers have focused more on the optimization-based technique for MPPT for PV systems. Modern optimization-based techniques are very effective in finding global maxima from the pool of many local maxima. This paper gives an overview of modern optimization techniques based MPPT for PV system. The algorithms discussed in the paper are PSO, cuckoo search algorithm, and genetic algorithm (GA). The study is based on the most recent techniques available in literature. This paper should serve as a reference for future research in optimization algorithm-based MPPT techniques applied to PV systems.
