IoT based MPPT techniques for photovoltaic frameworks management under different environmental conditions: a review

Abstract

Solar energy (SE) is the most attractive form of renewable energy (RE) source for electrification. To harness SE, the photovoltaic (PV) system is required towards converting sunlight into direct electricity. The PV frameworks can be placed in areas with high energy potential. The performance of PV frameworks is complex work which depends on various parameters of the frameworks and their operations. The performance of PV frameworks can be evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink platform and real-time implementation. In this research article, the internet of things (IoT) is investigated to regulate and monitor PV system performance in various environments. IoT-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology improves the response of real-time operating characteristics which makes it possible to control remote PV systems management, quickly diagnose problems and maintain them effectively. Additionally, it allows for recording production and performance data for analysis.
