Abstract

Renewable energy technologies provide clean and abundant energy that can be self-renewed from natural sources; more support from the public to replace fossil fuels with various renewable energy sources to protect the environment. Although solar energy has less impact on the environment than other renewable sources, the output efficiency is lower due to the different weather conditions. So to overcome that, the MPPT controller is used for tracking peak power and better efficiency. Some conventional methods in MPPT controllers provide less tracking efficiency, and steady-state oscillations occur in maximum power tracking due to the sudden variations in solar irradiance. Thus, in this work salp swarm optimized (SSO) based Elman recurrent neural network (ERNN) controller is proposed to track the maximum power form PV with high efficiency. The weight parameter of ERNN layer is optimized with the help of SSO, which solve the complex problems and give maximum efficiency. The proposed method is performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment, which differs from existing plans and gives a better output efficiency. Using this proposed controller, the system can achieve high tracking efficiency of 99.74% compared to conventional processes.
