Exploration of different maximum power point tracking techniques for photovoltaic system

Abstract

Maximum power point tracking has been a major topic among researchers due to how essential it is to solar photovoltaic systems. There have been several methods for tracking maximum power presented. Each method of tracking maximum power has its own set of rules, constraints, and computations. This review provides in-depth details on each approach and compares and contrasts many maximum power tracking techniques. Consequently, from 1996 to 2022, this will include the entirety of the literature on the significant contributions from the earliest and most recent approaches that are widely used by researchers. It also offers some suggestions for further research.
