Design and Implementation of a New Fast and Efficient MPPT Controller under Different Solar Irradiance Conditions by K. Padmanaban, A. Shunmugalatha, M. S. Kamalesh

“…The power-voltage (P-V) characteristic curve of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems operating in partial shading conditions (PSC) is nonlinear and has multiple local maximum peak power (LMPP) points, rendering many of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms ineffective at locating global maximum peak power (GMPP) points. This work proposes a novel slime mould algorithm- (SMA-) based MPPT controller to utilise maximum peak power (MPP) from solar PV systems during uniform irradiance conditions (UC) and nonuniform irradiance conditions (NUC). …”
