In the case of the uniform illumination a single solar panel shows only one maximum power, which is also the global maximum power point. In the case an irregularly illuminated photovoltaic panel many local maxima on the power-voltage curve can be observed and only one of them is the global maximum. The proposed algorithm detects whether a solar panel is in the uniform insolation conditions. Then an appropriate strategy of tracking the maximum power point is taken using a decision algorithm. The proposed method is simulated in the environment created by the authors, which allows to stimulate photovoltaic panels in real conditions of lighting, temperature and shading.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A Hybrid Maximum Power Point Search Method Using Temperature Measurements in Partial Shading Conditions}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/90291/PDF/Journal10178-VolumeXXI%20Issue4_11.pdf}, doi={10.2478/mms-2014-0056}, keywords={maximum power point, partial shading, perturb and observe, temperature measurement}, }
