Analysis of MPPT Failure and Development of an Augmented Nonlinear Controller for MPPT of Photovoltaic Systems under Partial Shading Conditions

The output–voltage–power curves of photovoltaic (PV) arrays exhibit complex multi-peak shapes when local shading occurs. The existing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms to solve this multi-peak problem do not consider the possibility of tracking failures due to the time of the irradiance...
