Abstract
- This paper proposes Multi verse optimization (MVO) based MPPT controller to mitigate the possibility of losing tracking direction in solar photovoltaic system under variable irradiance. Generally conventional Perturb & Observe and hill climbing MPPT techniques are used due to effortless implementation. However, these techniques are not capable of handling oscillations in power at MPP and exhibit drift under variable irradiance conditions which leads to power loss. Therefore a hybrid of standard MVO and direct duty cycle control is proposed to minimize the inadequacies occurring in conventional controllers. Three cases i.e. constant irradiance, rapid and step changes in irradiance are considered for the analysis. The supremacy of proposed method is justified by comparing it with traditional P&O, Particle swarm optimization (PSO) based MPPT and Grey wolf optimization (GWO) based MPPT techniques. It is observed from the results that MVO based MPPT controller is capable of avoiding drift and offers fast convergence. Therefore proposed controller outperforms in terms of tracking efficiency, settling time, peak overshoot, and integral absolute error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
