Description
Summary:Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control techniques play a vital role in efficiency improvement of photovoltaic (PV) systems. It is mainly used to extract maximum possible power of the PV modules under both variable climatic and partial shaded condition (PSC). From literature, various types of MPPT techniques have been developed to track the maximum power point efficiently, ranging from conventional methods to artificial intelligence and bio-inspired methods. Each technique has its own advantage and drawbacks. This paper focuses mainly on a review on advancements of global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) techniques of photovoltaic (PV) system subjected to partial shading conditions (PSC) to help the users to make the right choice when designing their system. The most recent and selected MPPT methods are discussed and classified as optimization, hybrid, mathematical model based methods and other GMPPT methods. This study will serve as interesting guide for researchers working on PV system field.
