New approach for localization global maximum of solar array

Today's PV solar power plants would be unimaginable without Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) which automatically maximizes panels power output, thereby significantly increasing energy production. However, partial shading of PV panels in large solar plants is a serious obstacle for MPPT. Multiple local extremums will be observed while only one is the global maximum and has to be found. Some methods and algorithms for solving the problem of...
