A High Performance PSO-Based Global MPP Tracker for a PV Power Generation System

This paper aims to present an improved version of a typical particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, such that the global maximum power point (MPP) on a P-V characteristic curve with multiple peaks can be located in an efficient and precise manner for a photovoltaic module array. A series of ins...
