This study introduces a novel technique for achieving the global peak (GP) in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under partial shadowing conditions (PSC) using the Dandelion Optimizer Algorithm (DOA), inspired by the dispersal of dandelion seeds in the wind. The proposed approach aims to enhance the power generation efficiency of PV systems across various scenarios, including dynamic uniform, dynamic PSCs, static uniform irradiances, and static PSCs. The proposed approach improves tracking efficiency, provides non-oscillatory steady-state responses, and reduces transients as well as enhancing the dynamic performance of the whole system.

The use of short-life electrolytic capacitor on the DC-Bus is considered a standard way for reducing these ripples and variations because of its large capacitance but results in short lifetime of the inverter. Replacing large electrolytic capacitors with small film capacitors can extend the lifetime of a PV/BES grid-connected system because small film capacitors have longer lifetime than large electrolytic capacitors.
