Maximum Power Point Tracking Based on SVR and GA

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the increasing application of Photovoltaic (PV) power system, it is important to make PV system always achieve its maximum power output, so maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique develops. Based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), a novel MPPT method is proposed in this paper. The SVR model uses the solar radiation and temperature as two inputs, and uses the voltage at maximum power point (MPP) as output. Furthermore, GA is introduced to search the best parameters for SVR. Results validate the effectiveness of the proposed MPPT method.
