Abstract:

Under partial shading condition(PSC),there will be multiple peaks on the power-voltage output characteristic curves of photovoltaic(PV)systems.The traditional maximum power point tracking(MPPT) algorithm is no longer applicable for solving the problem since it is easy to fall into local optimal solution and of poor stability.In order to realize MPPT under PSC,a dynamic surrogate model-based optimization(DSMO) method for a PV system is designed.To avoid aimless search,by taking real-time data of the PV system,the radial basis function(RBF) network is adopted to construct the dynamic surrogate model of input/output features.Based on the dynamic surrogate model,greedy search is used to accelerate the convergence.The practicability and superiority of the method are evaluated by tests under three conditions,constant temperature and constant light start-up experiment,constant temperature and step-changed light test,and variable temperature and variable light test.Compared with ant colony algorithm(ASO),gray wolf optimizer(GWO),perturb and observation method(P&O) and particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO),the DSMO method proposed can facilitate PV systems to generate more energy and smaller power fluctuation quickly and stably under PSC.

Key words: PV system, partial shading condition, MPPT, DSMO, greedy search
