Photovoltaic (PVS) generators’ nonlinear electrical characteristics allow for greater performance and efficiency when they are forced to operate at their peak power (MPP). This article suggests an adaptive method for maximizing power point tracking that makes use of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques (MPPT). A step-up converter powered by a separate solar generator is under the control of an ANN controller built on a neural network training database (PVS). The results show that ANN-MPPT has good control performance and is near to the maximum power point of PVS when compared to conventional MPPT methods like perturb and observe and incremental conductance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
