A Novel Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm Based on Glowworm Swarm Optimization for Photovoltaic Systems

In order to extract the maximum power from PV system, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology has always been applied in PV system. At present, various MPPT control methods have been presented. The perturb and observe (P&O) and conductance increment methods are the most popular and wi...
