Towards Green Energy for Smart Cities: Particle Swarm Optimization Based MPPT Approach
Towards Green Energy for Smart Cities: Particle Swarm Optimization Based MPPT Approach is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''IEEE Access''. The main subjects of the publication include power, photovoltaic system, particle swarm optimization, wind power, Maximum power principle, computer science, hydrogen economy, control theory, maximum power point tracking, MATLAB, microgrid, energy, and algorithm. The paper proposes an improved one-power-point (OPP) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for wind energy conversion system (WECS) to overcome the problems of the conventional OPP MPPT algorithm, namely, the difficulty in getting a precise value of the optimum coefficient, requiring pre-knowledge of system parameters, and non-uniqueness of the optimum curve.
