During the day, photovoltaic (PV) systems are exposed to different sunlight conditions in addition to partial shading (PS). Accordingly, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques have become essential for PV systems to secure harvesting the maximum possible power from the PV modules. In this paper, optimized control is performed through the application of relatively newly developed optimization algorithms to PV systems under Partial Shading (PS) conditions. The initial value of the duty cycle of the boost converter is optimized for maximizing the amount of power extracted from the PV arrays. The emperor penguin optimizer (EPO) is proposed not only to optimize the initial setting of duty cycle but to tune the gains of controllers used for the boost converter and the grid-connected inverter of the PV system. In addition, the performance of the proposed system based on the EPO algorithm is compared with another newly developed optimization technique based on the cuttlefish algorithm (CFA). Moreover, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used as a reference algorithm to compare results with both EPO and CFA. PSO is chosen since it is an old, well-tested, and effective algorithm. For the evaluation of performance of the proposed PV system using the proposed algorithms under different PS conditions, results are recorded and introduced.

The main purpose of this paper is to model, simulate, and improve the performance of different 9 × 9 PV array configurations under different Partial Shading Conditions (PSCs) in order to extract the maximum power by defeat the mismatching power losses. Hence, PSCs reduces the performance of Photovoltaic (PV) arrays and increase the Local Maximum Power Points (LMPPs) on output characteristics P-V due to mismatching power losses between the PV panels. For this, Total-CrossTied (TCT) , and proposed Magic Square View (MSV) PV array topologies are considered for the study under Short Narrow shading patterns. PV array configurations enhancements and theirinvestigations are carried out with regard to the comparison of the Global peak of outlet power (GP).The parameters of the PV array configurations are performed in MATLAB/Simulink software.

Beragamnya metode yang ditawarkan oleh fuzzy logic kontroller membuat sebagaian orang meneliti mengenai perbedaan metode inferensi yang digunakan oleh fuzzy logic controller. Sejauh ini terdapat tiga metode fuzzy logic kontroller yang telah dikembangkan yaitu Mamdani, Sugono dan Sukamoto. Pada jurnal ini penggunaan fuzzy logic kontroller akan dievaluasi dengan menggunakan motor dc penguat terpisah sebagai beban untuk melakukan pengaturan kecepatan motor dc. Pada paper ini tujuan utamanya adalah dapat mengendalikan kecepatan dari motor DC Penguatan Terpisah dengan mengatur tegangan jangkar dari motor tersebut. DC motor merupakan salah satu jenis motor memiliki banyak aplikasi dan memiliki kemudahan untuk mengatur kecepatan pada motor tersebut. Logika fuzzy yang digunakan pada studi ini adalah inferensi sugeno dimana dengan konfigurasi Multiple Input Single Output (MiSo). Dimana input berupa error dan perubahan error dan output berupa duty cycle dikarenakan yang dikendalikan oleh logika fuzzy adalah Boost Converter selaku controlled voltage source. Target pada jurnal ini adalah dari kecilnya nilai steady – state error dan minimnya osilasi sehingga mampu membuat sistem lebih stabil. Pada studi ini, Hasil pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan Simulink by Matlab dengan Hasil pengujian berupa error rata rata sebesar 5.36%.

To respond to the increase in demand for electricity, the use of photovoltaics is growing considerably as it produces electrical energy without polluting the environment. In addition, to enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic modules, an MPPT algorithm is required to follow the maximum voltage and maximum current in the IV curve. This technique can be achieved by using a DC-DC converter. For this purpose, various MPPT techniques have been developed. The combination of MPPT and DC-DC converter is implemented using Matlab/Simulink and connected to a modelled PV module to validate the simulation.

This paper presents the investigation of partial shading characteristics of mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline photovoltaic module connected in series. Simulink models are developed to assist the investigation to determine the ideality factor for mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline photovoltaic module. Commercially available mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline photovoltaic module are used to extract measurable parameters for the model to study the behaviour of I-V curve. Measurements have been conducted for the investigation includingmono-crystalline only, poly-crystalline only, both unshaded, mono-crystalline shaded and poly-crystalline shaded. This paper contributes to the understanding of partial shading characteristics of different materials presence in photovoltaic string.

Comparison Data

The PV array generates smaller amount of the power compared with other electrical power generation components. There are many components that are adversely effected the output of PV array in such components, one is partial shading. Due to this, each module in PV array receives different solar irradiations causes different P-V characteristics of its peak values. This paper presents a pioneering method called as Magic Square configuration has been proposed to enhance the generated power of photovoltaic modules by configuring those are under affect of shade. Thus there is no change of electrical arrangement of PV modules in an array but only the objective location in the total cross tied (TCT) array is rearranged according to the magic square arrangement. Proposed paper gives comparison data with the conventional configuration method and hence the performance is calculated. The proposed technique provides a better solution that how shadow effect on the PV  modules has been reduced and how this shadow is distributed, and not only that also gives an idea  about how the inequality losses due to the partial shading is effectively reduced. The power loss of  various configurations of 3X3 and 4X4 array has been compared. The proposed technique is validated through MATLAB/Simulink environment.
