Abstract

This paper communicates a comprehensive review of different Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods of solar photovoltaic systems for Partial Shading Conditions (PSCs) when interconnected to the grids/micro-grids/AC loads through impedance source inverter and a brief survey on control methods of Z Source Inverter (ZSI) is discussed in detail. The proposed methods are compared with traditional methods like Perturb & Observation, Incremental Conductance (INC) methods under Partial Shading Conditions. The selected methods are classified as Modified Conventional methods, Soft Computing methods, and other MPPT methods. This comparison reveals that researchers are able to concentrate on shading conditions and enhance the performance of solar photovoltaic system for end users.
