TL;DR: In this article, a new Perturb and Observe (P&O) modified algorithm is proposed to track the global maximum under different conditions, which monitors the maximum power point voltage and triggers a current-voltage sweep only when a partial shadow is detected, minimizing then the power loss due to repeated current voltage sweeps.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical explicit model for photovoltaic (PV) cell and panel is proposed, which makes it possible to directly calculate the current of the cell/panel corresponding to a given voltage without need for iterative methods or initial conditions.

TL;DR: The study highlights the improvement that can be made to the accuracy of the final I-V curve and to the CPU-time required for the extraction by choosing the right combination of the three elements: model, objective function and algorithm.

TL;DR: This work presented a nonlinear control for a reversible power buck–boost converter (BBC) in order to control energy storage in a supercapacitor (SC) used in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

TL;DR: A novel image-based concept for estimating solar irradiance received on a photovoltaic (PV) array under normal conditions of irradiance is proposed, based on the variation of colors intensity in the images of the PV array with respect to solar irradiances.
