Design of the particle swarm optimization simulated annealing MPPT control method based on motion shadow

Abstract

Under the same environmental conditions, photovoltaic arrays at different operating voltages will significantly affect the size of solar power. To obtain as much power as possible, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method has been invented. Previous studies focused on the tracking problem under local shadow conditions, but the dynamic shadow problem with rapid changes in local shadow was rarely discussed. To solve the tracking problem that the maximum power point has multi-peak and fast-changing characteristics under this condition, this paper proposes a simulated annealing MPPT control method based on particle swarm optimization, which compensates the disadvantages of the memoryless Markov chain in the optimization algorithm by adaptive asymmetric memory factor, thus improving the local search ability and convergence speed in the later stage. The control effect is verified by modeling and simulation in Simulink of MATLAB, and the adaptability of the heuristic control method is reflected by simulating the tracking mode under the moving shadow condition through the actual hardware deployment on the moving car.
