Abstract:
A device, system, and method for global maximum power point tracking comprises monitoring an output power of a DC power source while executing a maximum power point tracking algorithm and adjusting a maximum power point tracking command signal in response to the output power being less than a reference output power. The command signal is adjusted until the output power exceeds a previous output power by a reference amount. The command signal may be a voltage command signal, a current command signal, an impedance command signal, a duty ratio command signal, or the like.

Claim (Index 16):
An inverter for converting direct current (DC) power from a DC power source to alternating current (AC) power, the inverter comprising:\n an inverter controller configured to:\n execute a maximum power point tracking algorithm to extract a substantially maximum power from the DC power source, the maximum power point tracking algorithm to adjust an a power point of the DC power source based on a command signal; \n monitor an output power of the DC power source while executing the maximum power point tracking algorithm; and \n in response to the output power of the DC power source being less than a first output power for a first period of time:\n (i) store a command signal value of the command signal, \n (ii) store a power output value of the output power of the DC power source, \n (iii) adjust the command signal until the output power of the DC power source is above the stored power output value by a reference power amount, and \n (iv) return to the execution of the maximum power point algorithm using the adjusted command signal in response to the DC power source exceeding the stored power output value by the reference power amount.
