Abstract
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies in photovoltaic (PV) systems ensure efficient utilization of PV arrays. Among different strategies, the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm has gained wide popularity due to its intuitive nature and simple implementation. However, such simplicity in P&O introduces two inherent issues, namely, an artificial perturbation that creates losses in steady-state operation and a limited ability to track transients in changing environmental conditions. This paper develops and discusses in detail an MPPT algorithm with zero oscillation and slope tracking to address those technical challenges. The strategy combines three techniques to improve steady-state behavior and transient operation: 1) idle operation on the maximum power point (MPP); 2) identification of the irradiance change through a natural perturbation; and 3) a simple multilevel adaptive tracking step. Two key elements, which form the foundation of the proposed solution, are investigated: 1) the suppression of the artificial perturb at the MPP; and 2) the indirect identification of irradiance change through a current-monitoring algorithm, which acts as a natural perturbation. The zero-oscillation adaptive step P&O strategy builds on these mechanisms to identify relevant information and to produce efficiency gains. As a result, the combined techniques achieve superior overall performance while maintaining simplicity of implementation. Simulations and experimental results are provided to validate the proposed strategy, and to illustrate its behavior in steady and transient operations.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
