Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques is efficient technique implemented high photovoltaic power generation in modern power system. This paper will present a MPPT strategy with a Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA)-based strategy and high-gain Voltage-Multiplier Coupled Quadric Boost Converter to implement a high-efficiency power extraction in PV systems. The SOA takes advantage of the hunting nature of seagulls so that the operating point of the PV array can be optimised and that the global maximum power point can be reached within seconds even in dynamic irradiance and temperature conditions. Combining this smart MPPT approach with a high-gain quadratic boost converter can achieve large voltage step-up on low PV input to decrease converter stress and increase energy harvesting. Through simulation, the proposed method proves to have a higher tracking speed, efficiency, and stability relative to existing ones (Perturb and Observe) (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (IncCond). The SOA-based MPPT is able to effectively prevent local maxima under partial shading conditions to generate optimal power extraction. The offered system demonstrates the high increase in the general energy efficiency, and it can be applied to both grid-connected and stand-alone PV applications. This combination of smart optimization and sophisticated converter design offers a potential remedy on the extraction of the best performance of a PV system under real operating conditions.Refference:
