Earthquake Algorithm-Based Voltage Referenced MPPT Implementation through a Standardized Validation Frame
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- A new MPPT based on EA algorithm is proposed with an improvement that integrates a PI controller.
- We evaluate the proposed EA-MPPT strategy with the EN 50530 standard test that uses real-world weather conditions.
- We implement the proposed EA-MPPT embedded into a LabVIEW-FPGA frame in order to explore computational parallelism and compare it with the P&O counterpart.
