Description
Summary:ABSTRACT The increasing adoption of solar photovoltaic systems necessitates efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms to ensure optimal performance. This study proposes a Mod tanh‐activated physical neural network (MAPNN)‐based MPPT control algorithm, which addresses inefficiencies in existing models caused by spectral mismatch and improper converter control. The proposed method incorporates beta‐distributed point estimation technique for mismatch factor correction and a Buck‐Boost converter with a feedback control using the Chinese Remainder Theorem – Puzzle Optimization Algorithm‐tuned PID controller. Simulations demonstrate an efficiency improvement of 98.42%, with a 4.54 dB reduction in total harmonic distortion and faster convergence compared to traditional methods such as ANN and LSTM. This system significantly enhances MPPT performance under dynamic irradiance conditions.
