Abstract

This paper introduces the design of an innovative hybrid MPPT method called artificial neural networks-integral backstepping sliding mode control (ANN-IBSMC). This approach combines artificial neural networks (ANNs), which output the maximum power point voltage using inputs such as irradiance and temperature, with a robust control strategy. The designed controller aims to track the reference voltage with high accuracy and responsiveness by modifying the pulse width modulation of the DC-DC converter in the photovoltaic system. The IBSMC integrates the advantages of two control methods: the stability and accuracy of integral backstepping, and the robustness and fast response of sliding mode control (SMC). This combination enables improved precision, high convergence speed, enhanced robustness, and strong stability, the latter being ensured by the Lyapunov function. To evaluate the performance of the proposed controller, a comparative study is performed against other hybrid control techniques, such as the ANN-backstepping controller, the ANN-integral sliding mode controller, and the ANN-backstepping sliding mode controller, using MATLAB/ Simulink. A sensitivity and robustness analysis was carried out.
