Renewable Energy Optimization
Energy optimization of PV systems under partial shading conditions using various technique-based MPPT methods
This study introduces advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controllers utilizing Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) to enhance the energy optimization of Photovoltaic (PV) systems, particularly under partial shading conditions (PSC). The proposed controllers outperform conventional Perturb and Observe (P&O) methods by offering faster response times, reduced oscillations, and superior tracking efficiency. They leverage power-voltage and voltage time derivatives as input features for predictive, non-iterative control. Simulation results demonstrate that ANFIS achieves 99.75% tracking efficiency with significantly less duty-cycle fluctuation compared to ANN's 99.4% and P&O's 98.79%. Both AI models show high computational efficiency, suitable for real-time deployment on low-cost digital signal processors, providing a robust solution for dynamic PV system operation.

Real-world Scenario: Partial Shading Resilience
Under realistic partial shading conditions (PSC) with varying irradiance levels (e.g., G=1 kW/m², 0.7 kW/m², 0.5 kW/m²), conventional P&O controllers failed to track the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP), settling at local peaks. The ANFIS and ANN controllers, however, successfully tracked the GMPP. Specifically, the ANFIS controller extracted 7472W, and the ANN extracted 7436W, both close to the optimal 7523W, while P&O only achieved 5457W. This demonstrates the superior adaptability and robustness of AI-based methods in complex, dynamic environments, preventing significant energy losses.
