Photovoltaic systems have garnered attention globally for being sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. To ensure efficient operation and extract maximum power, a tracking controller known as MPPT is required. Traditional MPPT algorithms like P&O show inaccuracies in performance, particularly during high variations in irradiance.
In recent years, Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been received great attention all over the words as they are sustainable, unlimited and environmentally friendly energy. However, it is required for the PV system to apply a tracking controller to guarantee efficient operation by extracting the maximum power, which named maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method. Due to the simple structure, the conventional perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm is very popular in the literature. Nevertheless, conventional methods show inaccurate performance, particularly when high variations occur in irradiance, resulting in fluctuations around the MPP. To deal with these challenges, a novel technique on the basis of the variable-step size of P&O MPPT and sliding mode controller (SMC) adjusted by the theta-modified krill herd (theta-MKH) algorithm is presented. The theta-MKH algorithm is utilized to fine-tune the optimal SMC parameters to drive the variable step of the classical P&O algorithm. Simulations are prepared to compare the performance of the suggested scheme with conventional methods by considering simultaneous fast changes of irradiance and temperature. The results show that the suggested scheme have proper performance in both transient and steady-state, particularly under quickly varying climate circumstances. (C) 2021 The Franklin Institute.
