Optimization based optimal control of solar PV system

Abstract: in recent trend, there has been rapidly increase of demand in energy. For conserving energy, innovative solutions are being proposed for reducing it. An eco-friendly system should be created in order to save investment on electricity and then maximize the return cost on investment for investing in solar modules. The photovoltaic industry happens to be more efficient and less expensive systems so that it can be more competitive in nature when it is being compared with other conventional sources. For PV modules, irradiation and panel temperature faces more challenges because these parameters are unstable. Therefore, the electricity generations from PV panel are not stable in nature. So, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is used for extracting maximum power from PV modules. A DC-to-DC converter has been used for matching the impedance between PV module or array of modules so as to extract maximum power from PV modules or strings of PV modules. In this paper, perturb & observe (P&O), Particle swarm 0ptimization (PSO) and Grey wolf optimization (GWO) methods have been applied. The performance of these algorithms has been verified for MPPT in MATLAB /Simulink environment.
