This paper presents the particle swarm optimization based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach for maximizing output power of photovoltaic (PV) array under partially shaded conditions (PSC). During PSC, the P-V characteristic becomes more complex with multiple maximum power points (MPP). Mos...
