A critical advancement in solar photovoltaic (PV) establishment has led to robust acceleration towards the evolution of new MPPT techniques. The sun-oriented PV framework has a non-linear characteristic in varying climatic conditions, which considerably impact the PV framework yield. Furthermore, the partial shading condition (PSC) causes major problems, such as a drop in the output power yield and multiple peaks in the P–V attribute. Hence, following the global maximum power point (GMPP) under PSC is a demanding problem. Subsequently, different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies have been utilized to improve the yield of a PV framework. However, the disarray lies in choosing the best MPPT technique from the wide algorithms for a particular purpose. Each algorithm has its benefits and drawbacks. Hence, there is a fundamental need for an appropriate audit of the MPPT strategies from time to time. This article presents new works done in the global power point tracking (GMPPT) algorithm field under the PSCs. It sums up different MPPT strategies alongside their working principle, mathematical representation, and flow charts. Moreover, tables depicted in this study briefly organize the significant attributes of algorithms. This work will serve as a reference for sorting an MPPT technique while designing PV systems.
