Abstract

Maximizing energy extraction while maintaining the stability of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems requires an effective and robust control strategy. This study proposes a novel control approach by integrating a super twisting sliding mode controller (STSMC) with the moth-flame optimization (MFO) algorithm to enhance battery energy management, power quality, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in grid-connected PV systems. The proposed MFO-STSMC controller combines the robustness of sliding mode control with the adaptive optimization capabilities of MFO, resulting in improved MPPT accuracy, reduced oscillations, and enhanced resilience to environmental disturbances and nonlinearities. Simulation results validate that the proposed method significantly outperforms conventional MFO-PI controllers, achieving accurate MPPT tracking under varying irradiance and temperature conditions, and ensuring stable operation. Moreover, the total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced to 0.17% with MFO-STSMC, compared to 0.72% with MFO-PI, highlighting substantial improvement in power quality. The system is modeled and validated using MATLAB/Simulink, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in enhancing energy efficiency and grid stability.
