An effective hybrid maximum power point tracker of photovoltaic arrays for complex partial shading conditions

This paper proposes an improved maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) system. The scheme is a hybrid between the adaptive perturb and observe and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The algorithm incorporates the search-skip-judge (SSJ) mechanism to minimize the region within the P...
