A Review and Classification of Most Used MPPT Algorithms for Photovoltaic Systems

Abstract

E nergy, which can be defined as the ability to do work in its basic form, is in an indispensable position to sustain human life, meet their needs, and increase the quality of life. Over time, there is a serious increase in the total energy consumed in the world due to many reasons such as the increase in the human population, changes in people's lifestyle, increase in production, and technological developments. Energy production should be increased in order to meet the energy needs. Approximately 80% of the energy produced in the world is produced in power plants where natural gas and coal are used as the main energy source [1]. It is thought that toxic gases such as carbon, sulfur, heavy metals mixed into the soil and many other wastes released into the atmosphere during energy production from these limited fossil resources on earth will have negative effects on nature and living things over the years. Renewable energy sources, especially solar energy, are seen as an important alternative here. Because the sun sends more than the energy consumed in the world as clean energy every day. Solar energy has gained a place as a serious choice with its advantages such as very low operating and maintenance costs and being the most Article History:

Operation of AC Microgrids with PV Panels’ Output Power Curtailment for Minimizing the Use of Energy Storage

“…In this study, MPPT proposed in previous studies [6][7][8] was adopted for achieving maximum power extraction from PV panels. Other MPPT methods [13][14][15] can also be used.…”

Optimizing Photovoltaic System Performance through the Design and Development of an Artificial Neural Network MPPT Control

“…Traditional MPPT methods, while effective to some extent, often fall short when it comes to addressing the challenges posed by dynamic and unpredictable conditions . This shortcoming has prompted extensive research into novel MPPT control strategies that can improve the efficiency and stability of PV systems (Bouderres, Kerdoun, Djellad, Chiheb, & Dekhane, 2022;TOZLU & CALIK, 2021).…”

Maximum Power Point Tracking with Incremental Conductance and Fuzzy Logic Controller in Solar Energy Systems

“…Energy output should be boosted to fulfill the nation's energy demands. Around 80% of the energy utilized worldwide is generated in power plants using coal and natural gas as the primary fuels [1,2,3].…”

“…Due to the release of toxic gases like carbon, sulfur, heavy metals included in the soil, and many other waste products into the atmosphere during the production of energy process, it is believed that the finite resources of fossil fuels on earth will have severe consequences on nature and all living things over time. The sun provides more energy daily than is used to supply renewable energy globally, rendering solar energy a viable alternative [1,2,3].…”

“…MPP of a PV module is subject to variation due to the non-linear characteristics of the system, which are influenced by changes in irradiation intensity and temperature. Using MPPT algorithms is crucial to effectively monitor and capture the maximum power output from PV modules across varying irradiation levels, thereby ensuring optimal efficiency [1,2,3].…”
