Comparison Study between MPPTs for PV System using CS and PSO Under Partial Shading

The In the current environment, fossil-fuel-based energy generation systems are declining dramatically, due to their limited abundance and their negative impact on nature. Thus, in this study, solar is selected as the energy source for power generation, due to its ease of implementation and environmental friendliness. The non-linear characteristics of the PV system make it more difficult to attain the maximum power point (MPP). In order to test the efficiency and performance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Cuckoo Search (CS) technique-based MPPT to track optimal power working, it is imperative to study the PV system under partial shading and standard conditions. The acquired results demonstrate the superiority of CS-based MPPT compared with PSO in terms of response speed while failing to require the exact global MPP (GMPP). The proposed system is performed using the MATLAB/Simulink software.
