Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is envisioned as potential solution to overcome maximum power point tracking (MPPT) problems. Nevertheless, conventional PSO suffers from large transient oscillation, slow convergence and tedious parameter tuning when global MPP (GMPP) under partial shading conditions (PSC), leading poor efficiency significant loss.
