Abstract

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is required in PV power systems for the highest solar energy harvest. This article proposes a self-tuning scheme to improve the MPPT performance in terms of high accuracy and speed. The scheme adopts the reinforcement learning (RL) and Beta parameter for the highest MPPT performance. The tracking speed and accuracy are significantly improved since the RL algorithm is enhanced for high convergence speed, meanwhile, the guiding variable β is introduced to constrain the exploration space. Simulation and experimental test are applied to validate the superior performance of the proposed solution following the EN50530 dynamic test procedure.
