abstract = "Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is a technique applied to improve the efficiency of power conversion in Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under partially shadowed conditions, the Power-Voltage (P-V) characteristic exhibits multiple peaks and the existing MPPT methods such as the Perturb and Observe (P&O) are incapable of searching for the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP). This paper proposes a low-cost on-line MPPT scheme to overcome this drawback. By using hybrid numerical searching process, the operating point approaches Local Maximum Power Points (LMPPs) gradually and the GMPP is caught by comparing all the LMPPs. Simulation results prove the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed method.",
