In this paper, an improved artificial bee colony (I-ABC) algorithm for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a photovoltaic module array (PVMA) is presented. Even though the P-V output characteristic curve with multi-peak was generated due to any damages or shading discovered on the PVMA, the I-ABC algorithm could get rid of stuck on tracking the local maximum power point (LMPP), but quickly and stably track the global maximum power point (GMPP), thereby improving the power generation efficiency. This proposed I-ABC algorithm could search for the higher power point of a PVMA by a small bee colony, determine the next tracking direction through the perturb and observe (P&O) method, and keep tracking until the GMPP is obtained. This method could prevent tracking the GMPP for too long due to applying a small bee colony. First, in this study, the photovoltaic modules produced by Sunworld Co., Ltd. were used and were configured as a PVMA with four series and three parallel connections under different numbers of shaded modules and different shading ratios, so that corresponding P-V output characteristic curves with multi-peak values were generated. Then, the GMPP was tracked by the proposed MPPT method. The simulation and experimental results showed that the proposed method performed better both in dynamic response and steady-state performance than the traditional artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm. According to the experimental results, it showed that the tracking accuracy for the GMPP based on the proposed MPPT with 100 iterations under 5 different shading ratios was about 100%; on the other hand, that of the traditional ABC algorithm was 70%, and that of the P&O method was lower at about 30%.

“…Another problem is that there are still many students who do not understand the material being taught and are less active in the learning process. Besides, low student learning outcomes for Power Electronics courses also become a problem that needs to be addressed and solved [29]. One of the solutions to the above problems is done by developing an interactive multimedia-based learning media.…”

The main problem in learning power electronics course is that there are many things that require imagination to understand the principles of power converters. Thereto, learning that occurs is not flexible, which only occurs in the classroom, even though students need a lot of time to understand the material and need media that is able to visualize through illustrations, text, pictures, audio. This paper proposes the development media in the form of Power Electronics Learning Interactive Multimedia Courses which were developed using the help of the Adobe Flash application, so it is hoped that with this media students can learn the material of DC-DC converters and AC-AC converters easily, and can learn flexibly. Therefore, this study aims to develop a learning media that can overcome these problems, in the form of Interactive Multimedia Learning for Power Electronics Courses, which was developed using the help of Adobe Flash applications. The research method used refers to the Instructional Development Institute (IDI) model. The results of this study indicate that the Interactive Multimedia Learning for Power Electronics Course can be successfully used in learning. Meanwhile, the novelty of these findings makes a different contribution from previous interactive multimedia learning, because through media development you can learn with multimedia elements that describe DC-DC converters and AC-AC converters online so that learning becomes more flexible.

In this review, we describe various kinds of problem and solution related teaching and learning on power electronics course all around the world. The method was used the study of literature on journal articles and proceedings published by reputable international organizations. Thirty-nine papers were obtained using Boolean operators, according to the specified criteria. The results of the problems generally established that student learning motivation was low, teaching approaches that are still teacher-centered, the scope of the curriculum extends, and the physical limitations of laboratory equipment. The solutions offered are very diverse ranging from models, strategies, methods and learning techniques supported by information and communication technology.
