A Review of Partial Shading MPPT Algorithm on Speed, Accuracy, and Cost Embedded
Abstract
This paper describes several Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithms for partial shading conditions that have detrimental effects on photovoltaic systems. The method used is a literature review of articles from reputable publishers. Fifty two articles were obtained after meeting the established criteria for selection. The literature review focused on the ability of the Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm to overcome partial shading conditions in terms of tracking speed, tracking accuracy, efficiency, and implementation complexity. As the results, some algorithms are recommended to be applied for Maximum Power Point Tracking including the Single Swam Algorithm and the Perturb And Observer algorithm, the Enhanced Adaptive Step Size Perturb and Observe algorithm, the Novel Adaptable Step Incremental Conductance algorithm, the Improved Bat Algorithm and Fuzzy Logic Controller algorithm, and the Particle Swarm Optimization with One Cycle Control algorithm. In terms of implementation complexity, these five algorithms are categorized as medium-complexity, which can be characterized as low cost, high efficiency, and even 100% with high tracking speed and accuracy with a minimum number of sensors used.
