assess its operation in catching the GP. These two techniques have been simulated in
cosimulation between Matlab/Simulink and PSIM. The simulation results show that
the MPSO technique is more effective than FLC in following the GP. The generated
power has been increased considerably with MPSO technique in shading condition
than FLC. The increase in the generated power in MPSO technique than FLC de-
pends on the level of partial shading conditions. The simulation results show the su-
periority of MPSO technique during normal and partial shading conditions.
