This paper thoroughly discusses the design features and operating procedures of six
popular conventional MPPT methods. Accordingly, the corresponding modifications of the …

In this paper, an enhanced binary version of the Rat Swarm Optimizer (RSO) is proposed to
deal with Feature Selection (FS) problems. FS is an important data reduction step in data …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems provide a reliable green energy solution by improving the
maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods to achieve maximum power under various …

The necessity for clean and sustainable energy has shifted the energy sector's interest in
renewable energy sources. Photovoltaics (PV) is the most popular renewable energy source …

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) plays a crucial role in photovoltaic systems (PVS). In
partial shading conditions (PSCs), the PV characteristic curves of PVS exhibit multiple …

Photovoltaics are exposed to partial shading conditions (PSCs). Bypass diodes are installed
across series-connected PV modules to avoid the hotspot phenomena, which causes …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are subjected to varying irradiance conditions throughout the day
and because of the bypass diodes that are connected in parallel with the PV module to …

This manuscript proposes an effective hybrid approach for shadow detection to increase the
energy production of solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The proposed method is the joint …

The objective of this paper is to devise an efficient partial shading detection (PSD) scheme
so that the PSD may not degrade the speed of power tracking of a photovoltaic array, while …

Accurately determining the operating state of photovoltaic (PV) power-generation equipment
and providing accurate support for maintenance management requires evaluation of the …
