An international research team has tested a hybrid control technique combining adapted perturb and observe (APO) with model-predictive control to address complex partial shading in solar arrays. The ...

Researchers in the Middle East have developed a fuzzy logic controller that simultaneously optimizes the tilt angle of PV systems and performs maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Year-long ...

Few can question the increasing role of photovoltaic (PV) technology as a scalable, robust means of renewable energy. Yet PV cells are but one element, albeit a critical one, in an overall PV system.
