TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on Differential Evolution (DE) that is capable of tracking global MPP under partial shaded conditions.Abstract:
Photovoltaic (PV) system performance extremely depends on local insolation and temperature conditions. Under partial shading, P-I characteristics of PV systems are complicated and may have multiple local maxima. Conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques can easily fail to track global maxima and may be trapped in local maxima under partial shading; this can be one of main causes for reduced energy yield for many PV systems. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel Maximum Power Point tracking algorithm based on Differential Evolution (DE) that is capable of tracking global MPP under partial shaded conditions. The ability of proposed algorithm and its excellent performances are evaluated with conventional and popular algorithm by means of simulation. The proposed algorithm works in conjunction with a Boost (step up) DC-DC converter to track the global peak. Moreover, this paper includes a MATLAB-based modeling and simulation scheme suitable for photovoltaic characteristics under partial shading.read more
