Photovoltaic Module, Maximum Power Point Tracking, K-Means AlgorithmAbstract
The efficiency of PV modules remains relatively low, ranging from 15% to 35%, depending on the type of silicon technology used, including crystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. Then, the energy extraction efficiency from Solar Power Generation could be a lot higher (below 70%), especially in Solar Power Generation systems that still need to implement the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The MPPT algorithm is implemented in power electronic devices, such as boost converters, to optimise the power output of solar modules under various operating conditions, particularly during partial shading conditions. Various MPPT algorithms have been developed, each with its strengths and weaknesses. To enhance the efficiency of Solar Power Generation, this research will use a more effective state-of-the-art algorithm, namely the "Komodo Mlipir Algorithm" (KMA). KMA exhibits low system exploitation characteristics, utilising high exploration strategies, which align with the hunting behaviour of the Komodo dragon. This algorithm is expected to increase Solar Power Generation efficiency to above 90%.
