Abstract

Renewable energy resources are non-pollution resources that can meet up the electricity needs without inflicting any environmental troubles. In this research work, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) behavior is taken into account for improving the power output for the grid-integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) farm with the help of a combination BFPSO tuned intelligent ANN controller. An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based MPPT technique is utilized in solar PV arrays to maximize the electrical power output and satisfy the power demand. The combination BFPSO algorithm is selected for optimizing the connection weights in the ANN controller, and the developed ANN controller regulates the duty cycle of the DC/DC converter by monitoring the voltage and current profile of the solar PV farm. The developed optimization algorithm is implemented to get maximum feasible power from the 400 kW PV farm. Also, the proposed combination BFPSO tuned ANN controller is evaluated through means of predictable procedures like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA). The simulation part of the proposed work is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
