## Maximum Power Point Tracking in Solar Power Systems by Using Differential Evolution Methods with Embedded Systems

#### VOLKAN YAMAÇLI [1] , KADİR ABACI [2]

In this paper, one of the most important problems, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), in renewable solar power is studied and analyzed. In order to obtain the maximum power point in solar cells and panels the voltage and current should be maximized, simultaneously. Thus, the easiest way to achieve the maximum power point is tracking the solar energy, daylight, by measuring the light intensity in a solar cell or panel coaxially. In this work, the MPPT is achieved by optimizing the light intensity vector on a solar panel after measuring the daylight physically with the help of newly designed embedded system, and processing the real world values by using Differential Search Algorithm which is a new and improved method based on differential evolutionary principles.
