Abstract

The P-V output feature of photovoltaic (PV) array presents multi-wave peaks under non-uniform illumination, so the traditional algorithm can not overcome the shortcomings of the local optimal value. In this paper, an optimization algorithm based on particle swarm and bacteria foraging is proposed, which is applied to the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV arrays. The algorithm introduces the tendency operation to find the optimal solution in the local range. The replication operation is introduced to avoid the blind randomness of population update, and the convergence speed of the algorithm is accelerated. The migration operation is introduced to avoid the algorithm falling into the local optimal solution. The output power characteristics of PV array under occlusion are analyzed, and the MPPT control method experiment is carried out using bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA). Experimental results show that the algorithm can get rid of the constraint of local optimal value, quickly find the global maximum power point, and the control precision is high. It provides a new implementation method for PV array MPPT.
