Photovoltaic Power Tracking Techniques with Intelligent Prediction

Baig AA, Yang XX and Yang MS

Prediction of photovoltaic (PV) power output has become more important recently. PV power completely depends on solar cell working conditions, which are directly connected to the weather. So, to get the maximum power output from the system many maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques have been introduced, but in this paper, MPPT techniques with intelligent algorithm have been discussed. These techniques are mathematically modeled and presented in such a way that the appropriate application could be chosen. A comparative table is presented at the end of the paper to simplify the classification of the different techniques.
