Abstract

This paper deals with the implementation and analysis of a new maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method, which is tested under variable climatic conditions. This new MPPT strategy has been created for photovoltaic systems based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The novel Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm is tested in several simulations which have been implemented in view of the various system responses such as: voltage, current, and power. The performances of the proposed IPSO algorithm have been completed and compared with results of well-established methods adopted in the literature showing a higher accuracy.
Keywords: maximum power point tracking (MPPT); particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO); photovoltaic (PV) maximum power point tracking (MPPT); particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO); photovoltaic (PV)
