Almost all of the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods for photovoltaic (PV) systems are based on searching algorithms. Searching algorithms require relatively complex control schemes and reduce the speed and accuracy of the MPPT method. This paper proposes a novel MPPT method which aims to c...
