A review on MPPT techniques of PV system under partial shading condition

Abstract

This paper presents a concise and an organized review of various maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms implemented in the photovoltaic (PV) generation system useable under partial shading condition. Various algorithms, PV modeling techniques, PV array configurations and controller topologies have been widely explored till date. But, every technique always has its advantages as well as disadvantages simultaneously; as a result, a proper literature review is essential while designing a PV generation system (PGS) under partial shading condition. In this paper, the detailed review of MPPT algorithms has been done. The review on MPPT techniques has been classified into mainly four essential groups. The first among them includes all the new MPPT optimization algorithms, the second group includes the hybrid MPPT algorithms, the third category includes new modeling approach, and the fourth category includes the various converter topologies. This paper provides an accessible reference to undertake mass research works in PV systems in the near future under partial shading condition.
