Hybrid Fuzzy–DDPG Approach for Efficient MPPT in Partially Shaded Photovoltaic Panels

Partial shading conditions reduce the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems by introducing multiple local maxima in the power–voltage curve, complicating Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). Traditional MPPT methods, such as Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (IC), frequentl...
