This article concerns maximizing the energy reproduced from the photovoltaic (PV) system, ensured by using an efficient Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) process. The process should be fast, rigorous and simple for implementation because the PV characteristics are extremely affected by fast...

Small scale WTs (wind turbines) are known a great interest energy feeding, especially for isolated area, and water pumping application. It is very crucial to operate a WT around its maximal efficiency in order to extract a maximum energy from the wind. To achieve this goal, various MPPT (maximum...

The output power-voltage (P-V) curve of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power system shows a single peak under an even irradiation environment, nevertheless, but often exhibits seriously nonlinear multi-peak characteristics under partial shading conditions (PSCs). Then, traditional maximum power point...
