Application of Hybrid Techniques for Efficient Photovoltaic Systems-An Overview

In the last few decades, the application of photovoltaic (PV) systems grabs significant attention as it is one of the major promising sources of green energy. Modern advancement in PV technologies makes it well effectual and affordable in wide areas such as power generation on-grid/ off-grid system, street illumination, pumping out water in agriculture sector etc. However, the extraction of maximum power from the modules is inevitably needed for the productive utilization of PV systems. Hence, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mechanism is essential for optimizing net energy production. This paper encapsulated the concept of different approaches based on the intelligent mechanisms for efficient power extraction in PV systems. An extensive summary in terms of the efficiency and eventuality of the reported hybrid techniques has been discussed in detail in this work.
