Abstract

The output power–voltage (P–V) curve of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power system shows a single peak under an even irradiation environment, nevertheless, but often exhibits seriously nonlinear multi-peak characteristics under partial shading conditions (PSCs). Then, traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control methods may fail to find the maximum power point (MPP). Many different MPPT control methods have been proposed to adjust the peak power output and improve the generating efficiency of the PV system. In this paper, the main MPPT techniques for PV systems are reviewed and summarized, and divided into three groups according to their control theoretic and optimization principles. Especially, the advantages and disadvantages of the MPPT techniques for PV system under PSCs are compared and analyzed. Finally, possible future research directions for MPPT are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
