Abstract: In the case of partial shading,a few local maximum power points appear in the P-U characteristic curve of the photovoltaic array.The traditional maximum power point tracking method can accurately track the maximum power point of the PV array under uniform illumination,but it is easy to fall into the local maximum power point under partial shading.In order to overcome this defect,the P-U and I-U characteristic curves of PV array under partial shading were analyzed.Also,the improved perturb & observe(P&O) was used to track the global maximum power point.And by means of MATLAB/Simulink simulation results,this method can track the global maximum power point accurately.
