Keywords:
P&O algorithm, PSO algorithm, Maximum power trackingAbstract
This paper is a comparison of the efficiency of the solar cell power tracking technique between P&O algorithms and PSO algorithms by experimenting with 3 solar panels in series. The maximum power output is 450 watts via the synchronous buck-boost circuit. Converter Used to track the power of solar cells To load a 600 watt resistor in the experiment will use all 2 algorithms, namely P&O algorithm with PSO algorithm and find the efficiency of the two algorithms The results showed that the PSO algorithm can track the power faster than the P&O model. The energy swing rate is less than that and in the case of partial shadows More efficiency than P&O by 17 percent. PSO overall algorithm is more powerful than P&O. The algorithm, however, is more complicated than P&O. But the peak approach has a greater swing rate than the P&O algorithm
