Abstract

Background

One of the key challenges in maximizing the performance of PV systems is the efficient tracking of the maximum power point (MPP) under varying operational conditions, including changes in solar irradiance and temperature. Accurate MPP tracking is essential for achieving optimal energy conversion efficiency and maximizing the electricity generation potential of the PV array, even during partial shading conditions. Traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms, such as the incremental conductance (INC) method, often struggle to efficiently handle partial shading conditions. As a result, there is a need for more sophisticated and robust optimization techniques that can effectively address this challenge. This study presents a novel and innovative Giza Pyramid Construction (GPC) algorithm to solve the partial shading-induced MPP tracking problem.

Objective

This study aims to apply the Giza Pyramid Construction (GPC) algorithm for optimized maximum power point tracking in photovoltaic systems under partial shading conditions, aiming to enhance energy conversion efficiency and overall system performance.

Methods

The methodology involves implementing the Giza Pyramid Construction (GPC) algorithm as the core optimization technique for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) systems. The GPC algorithms are utilized to iteratively adjust the duty cycle of the boost converter, enabling efficient power extraction from the PV array under varying shading conditions. The performance of the GPC algorithm is evaluated through simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK and compared against conventional MPPT methods like INC and DGO techniques.

Results

The successful application of the Giza Pyramid Construction (GPC) algorithm for optimized maximum power point tracking in PV systems under partial shading led to significantly reduced optimization time, faster settling times, and minimized output ripples. With the proposed GPC MPPT, optimization time is reduced to 41ms, settling time is reduced to 93ms, and ripples are minimized to 0.092%.

Conclusion

The Giza Pyramid Construction (GPC) algorithm demonstrates its effectiveness as a robust and efficient maximum power point tracking method in photovoltaic systems, particularly under partial shading conditions. The improved optimization speed, reduced settling times, and minimized output ripples underscore the GPC algorithm's potential to enhance the overall efficiency and reliability of PV systems, paving the way for its practical implementation in real-world renewable energy applications.
