This paper discusses about the hybrid cascaded nine level inverters for photovoltaic applications. Cascaded multi-level inverter is made up of series connected half bridge inverters and the output voltage of cascaded MLI is the sum of all inverter output voltages. Cascaded MLI produce staircase output voltage waveform having less harmonics, high output voltage, lower acoustic noise, as compared to...
The performance of the photovoltaic panel is significantly affected by various environmental factors, due to these changes there is little chance to operate the PV module at its maximum power point when using Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm. Hence, an intelligent controller is designed employing ANFIS which draws much energy and fast response. The current work proposes an artificial-intelligence...

Photovoltaic power generation systems operate at maximum power point to maximize the use of solar energy. MPP tracking (MPPT) is usually attained using several traditional methods. But during partial shading conditions, a PV panel shows multiple peaks in power versus voltage curve and traditional methods do not always promise to make operate PV panel at true MPP.

Photovoltaic power systems lose significant amount of energy due to partial shading which occurs when a part of a PV system is shaded while the rest is fully illuminated. These losses appear in the form of mismatch power losses. Minimizing these losses is fortunately possible through reconfiguring the connections of PV modules in a PV system, as reported recently in the literature. However, the available...
