An essential objective for many photovoltaic (PV) applications is represented by the so‐called maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Under uniform irradiance and ambient temperature conditions, the power versus voltage characteristic of a PV array is characterized by the presence of a unique point, termed maximum power point (MPP), where the power provided by the array itself attains its maximum value. Any other operating point leads to the extraction of a smaller PV energy. Therefore, in order to avoid the waste of PV energy, the working of the array in its MPP is mandatory. Since the position of the MPP continuously changes in time as a function of irradiance and temperature, it is necessary to continuously track it. Such an objective can be obtained by using proper MPPT control techniques. A large number of papers have appeared in the scientific literature during the last 15 years on the issue of MPPT, and as a result it may be difficult to decide the best technique for a given application. Therefore, this survey may hopefully be beneficial to students, researchers, and practitioners in PV systems. The article overviews the representative PV MPPT algorithms, organized into four main groups. The first group contains the so‐called “hill climbing” techniques, the second group contains the “curve fitting” techniques, the third group contains the “dynamical” techniques, and the fourth group includes all the techniques that do not belong to the first three groups.

Summary This article intends to present a compendious review to extract maximum power in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under varying environmental conditions and partial shading conditions by enumerating various circuit‐based topologies and different state‐of‐the‐art maximum power point techniques (MPPT). Partial shading reduces the overall efficiency of the PV system; therefore techniques that are dealing with partial shading play an important part in the power conditioning unit of all PV system connected to the stand‐alone mode or grid mode. Various circuit‐based topologies and various algorithms have been broadly discussed till date. As every algorithm is associated with its own merits and demerit, hence an extensive literature survey is required while planning for PV generating station under normal and partial shading condition. In this article, a comprehensive review of shading mitigation using different topologies has been done. The article on shading mitigation is broadly divided into two major groups. The first group includes all major circuit‐based topologies and the second group includes MPPT based techniques, which has been further classified into modified conventional techniques, soft computing techniques, and hybrid techniques. This comprehensive review presents an assessment of all techniques according to parameters like converter used, tracking speed, complexity, efficiency, number of sensors under partial shading condition would certainly provide a single platform to carry forward their research in solar PV application.
