Most Valuable Player Algorithm based Maximum Power Point Tracking for a Partially Shaded PV Generation System

Imran Pervez et al.

Summary: Inclusion of bypass diodes at the output terminal of the PV array mitigates the effect of partial shading but causes multiple peaks of power at the output. Conventional methods cannot track the optimal point during partial shading phenomena, while fuzzy logic controller and artificial neural network-based methods provide satisfactory results but increase memory and computational burden. Nature-inspired algorithms show promising results in tracking optimal power point with less burden on the processor, but newer algorithms with improved performances are still needed.
