Maximum Power Point Tracking Scheme for PV Systems Operating Under Partially Shaded Conditions

TL;DR: A novel algorithm to track the global power peak under partially shaded conditions and a feedforward control scheme for operating the DC-DC converter is proposed, which uses the reference voltage information from the tracking algorithm to shift the operation toward the MPP.
