Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques have been vastly researched and developed in order to obtain the maximum terminal power of photovoltaic (PV) arrays in the solar renewable energy system. The aim of this paper is to present a new principal scheme-based review of the categorised MPPT methods (conventional, novel, and hybrid) with respect to the deployment of their input variables (solar irradiance, PV arrays' temperature, and PV arrays' terminal voltage and current), where MPPT methods are categorised to six different schemes. For each scheme, previous MPPT studies are extracted from literature and analysed. Then the critical benefits and limitations of the six presented MPPT schemes are compared and discussed. It is concluded that those MPPT schemes deploying the measured external variables would be able to track the global maximum power point with high reliability; however, their implementation cost and applicability remains as a challenge due to increasing the sensor deployment cost and complexity. The conclusion of this paper will help new researchers to deliberately select an appropriate MPPT scheme based on their projects' objectives and limitations, prior to selecting an optimisation algorithm for MPPT.

“…The conventional MPPT methods are also categorised as indirect (offline) and direct (online) approaches [2], [10]. A comprehensive history of MPPT methods was presented in the first chapter of [2], and a comprehensive review and critical analysis of MPPT methods was presented in [11], [12] as well as in the fourth chapter of [5].…”

“…Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is being used in solar PV system to produce constant output voltage from converter. The application of PSO greatly improves the performance of MPPT and supply enhanced output power [12][13][14]. The reduction in total power generation by entire PV system is being reduces due to mismatch in panel design, grading and partial shading.…”

Day by day the dependency on renewable energy uses has been increasing because of no greenhouse emission and abundant in nature available freely, this paper, presents a comparative analysis of an optimization technique called Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) along with Perturb & Observe (P&O) for the extraction of maximum power from the PV panel. The performances of P&O and PSO techniques were compared for different insolations and temperatures. A detailed and rigorous mathematical model along with simulation results and its performance for maximum power extraction from the panel were analyzed by using P&O and PSO. It has been observed that the maximum power obtained from PSO model is more than the maximum power obtained from P&O for different insolations and temperatures. Thus PSO is much better and more suitable for extracting maximum power from PV system.

“…At the initial stage, a large step size is considered to operate the operating point of PV closer to the true MPP. After that, a small step size is considered to suppress the oscillations across MPP [5]. The RCC MPPT technique is used in both stand-alone and grid-connected applications to control the duty cycle of three-phase inverter.…”

Photovoltaic (PV) array generates non-linear I-V and P-V characteristics. As a result, it is difficult to transfer the maximum power from source to load. The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is used to track the Maximum Power Point (MPP) and extract the maximum power of solar PV. The disadvantages of conventional MPPT techniques are less MPP tracking speed, high MPP settling time and less accuracy. In order to overcome the disadvantages of conventional techniques, in this article different types of recent nature inspired optimization techniques are reviewed to track the MPP. In addition, the application of optimization technique based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique for standalone and grid connected application is explained in detail. The advantages of optimization techniques are highly reliable, better accuracy, less time to convergence and fast response.
