For a photovoltaic (PV) system, it is widely assumed that the peaks of a partially shaded P-V curve are located at the multiples of 0.8V oc , where V oc is the open-circuit voltage of the PV module. However, this assumption - known as the of 0.8V oc... Read More about An improved method to predict the position of maximum power point during partial shading for PV arrays.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ashique, R. H., Salam, Z., & Ahmed, J. (2015, October). An adaptive P&O MPPT using a sectionalized piece-wise linear PV curve. Presented at 2015 IEEE Conference on Energy Conversion (CENCON), Johor Bahru, Malaysia

This paper describes the adaptive perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT controller based on a sectionalized piece-wise linearization of the P-V curve. The algorithm divides the curve into three non-uniform sections, depending on the location of the maximum... Read More about An adaptive P&O MPPT using a sectionalized piece-wise linear PV curve.

This paper proposes a method to improve the efficiency of the P&O maximum power point tracker (MPPT) by reducing the steady state oscillation and eliminating the possibility of the algorithm to lose its tracking direction. A dynamic perturbation step... Read More about An improved perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for higher efficiency.
