Effects of Power Tracking Algorithms on Lifetime of Power Electronic Devices Used in Solar Systems

In photovoltaic solar energy systems, power management algorithms (PMAs), usually called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms, are widely used for extracting maximum available power at every point in time. However, tracking the maximum power has negative effects on the availability of sola...
