Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based MPPT for PV Systems Under Partial Shading: A Hybrid Metaheuristic-Optimized Control Framework.
Abstract: Partial shade and quickly changing environmental conditions make Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) arrays particularly difficult. In these situations, traditional algorithms frequently fail to find the global optimum or experience sluggish convergence and steady-state oscillations. To obtain reliable, real-time MPPT under non-uniform irradiance, this research suggests a hybrid control architecture that combines a deep recurrent reinforcement learning (DRL) agent with metaheuristic-based parameter optimization and a digital-twin training …
