Abstract: | A hybrid technique for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed in this paper. The proposed hybrid system is combination of Wing suit Flying Search (WFS) and modified Transient search optimization (MTSO), therefore it is called WFS-MTSO method. The proposed controller has three processes: (i) to identify the operating level of photovoltaic (uniform or in PSC), (ii) to estimate the maximal power point using WFS technique, and (iii) to ensure the photovoltaic system runs on the estimated maximum power point (MPP) by MTSO optimized cascade controller. This method begins with a sense of irradiance and temperature. The proposed photovoltaic system has two components. The first one is WFS maximal power point tracking algorithm attain maximal power point. The second one is MTSO optimized cascade controller to force the photovoltaic system to activate at maximal power point. Here, the proposed hybrid technique is utilized at MPPT to diminish tracking error and oscillation across MPP for optimizing power output. The proposed optimized cascade control improves the system efficiency by averting interruptions previously they propagate to the system. Finally, the performance of proposed hybrid system is executed on MATLAB/Simulink working platform and the performances are compared with various existing approaches. The statistical matrices, like mean, median, and standard deviation is analyzed the tracking efficiency of the proposed WFS-MTSO approach. |
