A Novel Approach to Achieve MPPT for Photovoltaic System Based SCADA

Abstract

In this study, an improved artificial intelligence algorithms augmented Internet of Things (IoT)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) system has been proposed. This will facilitate preventive maintenance, fault detection, and historical analysis of the plant in addition to real-time monitoring. Further, the simulation results validate the improved performance of the suggested method. To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed MPPT algorithm over current methods, such as cuckoo search algorithms and the incremental conductance approach, a performance comparison is offered. The outcomes demonstrate the suggested algorithm's capability to track the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) with quicker convergence and less power oscillations than before. The results clearly show that the artificial intelligence algorithm-based MPPT is capable of tracking the GMPP with an average efficiency of 88%, and an average tracking time of 0.029 s, proving both its viability and effectiveness.
