Title
Guaranteed Maximum Power Point Tracking By Scalar Iterations With Quadratic Convergence Rate
Abstract
In this paper the problem of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is considered. We show that the problem has a unique solution and it can be reduced to the problem of finding the unique root of a single variable scalar function. We show that Newton's iterations can be applied to the problem of finding this root quadratically fast for an initialisation that is independent of the parameters of the MPPT problem. The results of applying the approach to 1,000,000 randomly generated instances of the MPPT problem are presented and consistency with the analysis is observed.
