SSO-Shaded-PV-Switch-Matrix

This repository implements the Salp Swarm Optimizer (SSA) to optimize the switching matrix of shaded photovoltaic (PV) arrays, enhancing power output and efficiency under partial shading conditions.

Features

• Optimization Algorithm: Implements the SSA for dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays.
• Performance Metrics: Calculates power enhancement and analyzes configurations.
• Visualization: Convergence curves and matrix arrangement comparisons.
