Implementation of Artificial Bee Colony algorithm on Maximum Power Point Tracking for PV modules

Renewable energy has become of utmost importance in the current wake of decreasing levels of fossil fuels and also because of the high percentages of CO2 build-up in the environment. Nowadays there is an increasing trend in the use of solar energy by using photovoltaic (PV). In this paper Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is used for Maximum Power Point Tracking and its performance is compared with Perturb and Observe algorithm.
