Survey of AI based MPPT algorithms in PV systems

The monitoring of Maximum Power Point (MPP) is a successful method for improving Photo Voltaic (PV) power extraction under different types of weather conditions. The power versus voltage curve shows multiple peaks as the PV module receives the different irradiances during the partial shading condition. In these situations, the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) capability to monitor the PV array's global MPP directly impacts system performance. Different approaches to MPPT were proposed in the literature. Among all, MPPT techniques based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms have established the potential to locate the MPP on a large scale. This work contributes a thorough and in-depth review of MPPT strategies based on AI. According to its application strategy, each method is categorized into one of several subcategories. The different techniques for incorporating AI into MPPTs are thoroughly examined with the thorough analysis of their merits and demerits. This study creates a set of MPPT techniques based on AI so that users can realize and choose the best approach for their needs and system constraints.
