Can dandelion optimizer achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic arrays?

This research proposes the dandelion optimizer (DO), a bioinspired stochastic optimization technique, as a solution for achieving maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) arrays under partial shading (PS) conditions.

What is dandelion optimization?

Dandelion Optimizer-Based MPPT Technique In this study, a unique bio-inspired meta-heuristic optimization technique called the dandelion optimization (DO) algorithm [ 31] is utilized. The dandelion, known scientifically as Herba taraxaci, is a perennial Asteraceae plant.

How does partial shading affect the efficiency of PV energy systems?

The effectiveness of PV energy systems is significantly affected by partial shading (PS) environments, which emerge as a prominent challenge due to the outdoor installation of these systems. The efficiency of PV systems can be greatly influenced by temperature and irradiance levels.

What does a dandelion plant look like?

The dandelion, known scientifically as Herba taraxaci, is a perennial Asteraceae plant. It is possible for these herbaceous plants to grow to a height exceeding 20 cm, and they are characterized by their inflorescence-shaped heads. Dandelion seeds typically comprise an achene, a beak, and several crested hairs.

What is the irradiation pattern of a PV panel?

Pattern 1: In the first pattern, the simulation represents a scenario without any shading. In this configuration, all PV panels (G 1, G 2, G 3, G 4) receive an equal irradiation level of 1000 W/m 2, resulting in the generation of equal currents.

What is the dandelion algorithm?

The dandelion algorithm is an innovative optimization method inspired by the sowing behavior of dandelions. Specifically, it incorporates self-learning capability and dynamic radius adjustment to efficiently explore the solution space and optimize extreme learning machines (ELM).
