摘要
Ant colony optimisation has been tailored to suit maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) systems and is presented in this study. Artificial ants are deployed in the solution space and are made to forage and the ants which find better sources of food are retained while ants fail to search effectively are deleted from the population. The greedy search of potential ants for better food location leads to identification of higher power peaks in the PV system. The concept is modelled suitably and MPPT curves in a few PV configurations are simulated and found to be promising. Experiments were also conducted to show the veracity of the new method.
