Leonardo Poltronieri Sampaio was born in São José do Rio Preto, SP, Brazil, in 1983. He received the B. S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees all in electrical engineering from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, SP, Brazil, in 2008, 2010 and 2013, respectively. Since 2012, he has been with the Electrical Engineering Department of Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR-CP), Cornélio Procópio, PR, Brazil, where he is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering. His present research involves computer programming, education in power electronics, education tools, dc-dc converters, inverters, renewable and alternative energy source, photovoltaic systems, power electronic converters.

Abstract

This paper presents a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) method, which is applied to a photovoltaic (PV) system. It is well known that photovoltaic (PV) panel present a... [ view full abstract ]
