Numerical Simulation and Mathematical Analysis of Meta Heuristic MPPT System for Solar Photovoltaic Applications Under Non-Linear Operational Conditions

As a sustainable energy source, the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has significantly increased. Environmental elements, especially partial shadowing circumstances, have a considerable impact on how well solar PV systems function. In such cases, the various local maxima in the power-voltage curve make it difficult for conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods to maintain peak efficiency. Heuristic Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system for solar photovoltaic (PV) applications, employing the cuckoo search algorithm. The primary objective of the research is to enhance the efficiency and reliability of solar PV systems by optimizing the MPPT process, which is crucial for maximizing energy extraction under varying environmental conditions. The model is used to simulate the performance of the system under various environmental conditions, such as changes in temperature and irradiance levels. The simulation results are then statistically analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the cuckoo search algorithm in tracking the maximum power point accurately and rapidly. The algorithm demonstrates a robust ability to converge to the maximum power point efficiently, thereby enhancing the overall energy yield of the solar PV system.. The performance of the hybrid PSO-CSA  MPPT algorithm in contrast to traditional MPPT techniques is assessed through simulations and tests under various shading circumstances. The findings show that the hybrid strategy regularly outperforms conventional methods by enhancing the total energy production of partially shadowed solar PV installations through faster convergence, less oscillations, and greater tracking accuracy. The proposed hybrid algorithm also demonstrates stability and flexibility in real-world settings, making it a potential option for boosting the dependability and efficiency of solar PV systems when shade is present. This study advances the field of renewable energy and prepares the path for the use of sophisticated optimization methods to the problems of solar PV power generation under changing environmental circumstances.
