The characteristics of photovoltaic power generation system is nonlinear. In addition, photovoltaic characteristics becomes more complex due to partial shading condition. This paper examine the impact on the characteristic in a partial shading condition, and proposes an improved maximum power point tracking control using the optimum method of a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The main advantage of this revised method has the ability to keep tracking the maximum power point even in extreme cases, e.g., in a partial shading condition.
