A New MPPT-based ANN for Photovoltaic System under Partial Shading Conditions

In solar photovoltaic system, tracking the maximum power point (MPP) is challenging task due to varying climatic conditions. Moreover, the tracking algorithm becomes more complicated under the condition of partial shading due to the presence of multiple peaks in the power voltage characteristics. This paper introduces a novel method to track the global maximum power point under partially shaded conditions. The method combines an artificial...
