Accurate Maximum Power Tracking in Photovoltaic Systems Affected by Partial Shading

A maximum power tracking algorithm exploiting operating point information gained on individual solar panels is presented. The proposed algorithm recognizes the presence of multiple local maxima in the power voltage curve of a shaded solar field and evaluates the coordinated of the absolute maximum....
