Abstract: The P-V array characteristic curve exhibits a plurality of local maximum power point under conditions of partial shading. The incremental conductance method maybe track an extreme value point that is not the largest power point, thus lead to tracking failure. The PSO algorithm has the characteristics of global optimization, but its tracking precision is deficient. A global MPPT algorithm based on PSO algorithm by incremental conductance method was proposed, PSO algorithm could quickly locate to the approximate global MPP, INC could further precise the MPP. Compared to the traditional incremental conductance method Simulink simulation and the research when partial shade suddenly changed, the result shows that the present method can track the global MPP of the PV array quickly and accurately.
