Global maximum power point tracking based on new extremum seeking control scheme

What is it about?

This Perturbed-based Extremum Seeking Control scheme is proposed to track the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) in the Photovoltaic (PV) applications, but also in other multimodal problems from industry, being a good motif to revive the specialists’ interest for the Extremum Seeking Control scheme. The results obtained here are very promising for both search speed and tracking accuracy performances of the GMPP under different Partially Shaded Conditions on the PV array.

Why is it important?

The Perturbed-based Extremum Seeking Control (PESC) scheme proposed here is the first attempt for tracking the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) with 100% succes (hit).
