“…INTRODUCTION Photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as a promising renewable energy source (RES), providing electric energy in a sustainable manner. Nevertheless, the dynamic and nonlinear properties of PV systems present serious obstacles to effective energy harvesting, hence efficient Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods are essential [1][2][3][4]. Nowadays, optimization algorithms have become increasingly well-known due to their capacity to search complex solution spaces.…”

Optimal energy harvesting is dependent on the efficient extraction of energy from photovoltaic (PV) arrays. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are crucial in achieving the maximum power harvest from the PV systems. Therefore, in response to a fluctuating power generation rate due to shading of the PV, the MPPT algorithms must dynamically adapt to the PV array's Maximum Power Point (MPP). In this article, three metaheuristic optimization MPPT techniques, utilized in DC converters connected to the array of 4 PV panels, are compared. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), which are used to optimize MPPT in the converter, are compared. This research evaluates the efficiency of each optimization method in converging to MPP under 2 s after partial shading of the PV with respect to velocity and accuracy. All algorithms exhibit fast MPPT optimization. However, among the evaluated algorithms, the PSO was distinguished for its higher stability and efficiency.
