A novel development of hybrid maximum power point tracking controller for solar pv systems with wide voltage gain DC-DC converter.

Now, the present power generation and distribution companies are working on renewable energy systems because their features are low-level atmospheric pollution, producing less greenhouse pollutants, more reliability, good static performance, and high robustness. In this work, the sunlight Photovoltaic (PV) system is selected because of its advantages are easily available in the atmosphere, high flexibility, zero carbon footprint, easy to maintain, and less transportation cost. However, solar networks produce nonlinear I-V characteristics. Due to the non-linear nature of the solar system, the extraction of peak voltage from the PV module is a very tough task. So, in this article, a variable modified step grey wolf method is integrated with the adaptive-neuro-fuzzy-inference-system to improve the energy production of solar systems. The features of this proposed maximum power point tracking controller are fast identification of the solar system operating point, generating the less fluctuated oriented converter load power, providing more MPP tracking accuracy, less dependence on the solar system installation, and useful for all environmental bad weather conditions. Another problem of solar systems is less voltage production which is improved by introducing a wide voltage gain-boost converter circuit. The features of this converter circuit are less development cost because it does not require more power electronics switches. Here, the proposed IGWM with an AFLC-fed sunlight system is investigated by using MATLAB/Simulink. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
