As photovoltaic (PV) system suffers considerable energy loss due to partial shading (PS), various approaches have been proposed to mitigate this problem. Among these, improving the maximum power point tracker (MPPT) algorithm seems to be the most feasible and economical solution. To date, there...

With the availability of powerful and low cost computing power, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) that utilizes soft computing (SC) techniques are attracting substantial interests from the PV communities. Due to their flexibility and ability to handle non-linear problems, robust SC-based MPPT...
