1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are essential in renewable energy generation because they can produce power directly. As one of the most practical and widely used methods for meeting global clean energy demands, PV systems are integral to modern energy strategies. However, these systems face significant challenges in maximizing power output, especially under shading conditions and fluctuating loads. To overcome these issues, a, practical Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function is crucial for optimizing power extraction in such dynamic environments. Solar panels typically produce electrical outputs that vary in DC voltage, requiring a well-designed DC link interfacing circuit to ensure efficient energy transfer from the PV source to the load. In response to these needs, this study introduces the Pelican Optimization Algorithm (POA), a novel nature-inspired stochastic optimization technique designed to track the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of solar sources with high precision. This innovative MPPT method is coupled with a PV-fed, energy-efficient high-power DC-to-DC converter, which enhances MPPT operation by providing substantial step-up voltage gain and improved overall efficiency. An ideal PV model technique is employed in this study to accurately approximate the system's mathematical parameters. The performance of the POA is benchmarked against three other Metaheuristics MPPT techniques: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO),Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO), and Cuckoo Search (CS). These comparisons are conducted under uniform and partial shading conditions (PSCs) as well as varying load scenarios on a standalone PV system. The results reveal that the proposed MPPT technique excels in tracking the global maximum power point across diverse operating conditions. It offers rapid convergence, minimal MPP oscillation, quick response times (less than 0.2 s), and higher efficiency (99%). MATLAB/Simulink simulations further validate POA's superior performance in MPP stability, tracking time, and effectiveness under PSCs.
