A novel hybrid algorithm golden section search assisted perturb and observe (GSS-PO) is proposed to solve the problems of the conventional PO (CPO). The aim of this new methodology is to boost the efficiency of the CPO. The new algorithm has a very low convergence time and a very high efficiency. GSS-PO is compared with the intelligent nature-inspired multi-verse optimization (MVO) algorithm by a simulation validation. The simulation study reveals that the novel GSS-PO outperforms MVO under uniform irradiance conditions and under a sudden change in irradiance.}, type={Article}, title={A performance analysis of a hybrid golden section search methodology and a nature-inspired algorithm for MPPT in a solar PV system}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/112889/PDF/11_AEE-2019-3_INTERNET.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aee.2019.129345}, keywords={hybrid optimization, golden sections search, multi-verse optimization algo-rithm, maximum power point tracking, perturb and observe, photovoltaic (PV)}, }
