Forecasting of photovoltaic power generation and model optimization: A review
Utpal Kumar Das,Kok Soon Tey,Mohammadmehdi Seyedmahmoudian,Saad Mekhilef,Moh Yamani Idna Idris,Willem Van Deventer,Ben Horan,Alex Stojcevski +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive and systematic review of the direct forecasting of PV power generation is presented, where the importance of the correlation of the input-output data and the preprocessing of model input data are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mehdi Seyedmahmoudian,Ben Horan,T. Kok Soon,Rasoul Rahmani,A. Muang Than Oo,Saad Mekhilef,Alex Stojcevski +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the performance and reliability of various methods for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in PV-based power systems, including their limitations and advantages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Differential Evolution-Based MPPT Algorithm Using SEPIC for PV Systems Under Partial Shading Conditions and Load Variation
Kok Soon Tey,Saad Mekhilef,Mehdi Seyedmahmoudian,Ben Horan,Amanullah M. T. Oo,Alex Stojcevski +5 more
TL;DR: An improved global search space differential evolution algorithm for tracking the GMPP and faster respond against load variation; optimization algorithm can search for theGMPP within a larger operating region as it is implemented by using a single-ended primary-inductor converter; and easy tuning as less parameter has to be set in the algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dust as an unalterable deteriorative factor affecting PV panel's efficiency: why and how
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dust on solar panel efficiency and the factors governing dust deposition on PV panel are reviewed and summarized, and the authors conclude that dust accumulation of 20 grams/m2 on a PV panel reduces short circuit current, open circuit voltage and efficiency by 15-21, 2-6% and 15-35% respectively.
