This paper presents a novel high performance controller to track the maximum power point (MPP) of a photovoltaic (PV) module under fast irradiation change and partial shading conditions. A DC–DC boost converter is selected as the power conditioning unit (PCU) to coordinate the operating point of the system with the maximum power point of the PV module. The proposed algorithm uses a scanning technique...
