Solar photovoltaic Maximum Power Point Tracking controller optimization using Grey Wolf Optimizer: A performance comparison between bio-inspired and traditional algorithms

[EN] Solar photovoltaic systems are widely used; however, their performance is bound to weather conditions, depending on irradiation, temperature, and the effect of shadows. Maximum Power Point Tracking techniques have been developed to solve this issue. Standard methods use mainly-two algorithms: P...

description [EN] Solar photovoltaic systems are widely used; however, their performance is bound to weather conditions, depending on irradiation, temperature, and the effect of shadows. Maximum Power Point Tracking techniques have been developed to solve this issue. Standard methods use mainly-two algorithms: Perturb and Observe and Incremental Conductance. However, such algorithms perform differently when the Solar photovoltaic system works under sudden solar irradiation changes, temperature, and load changes. This research proposes an opti-mized Maximum Power Point Tracking controller based on the Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm using the MATLAB/Simulink software as an alternative to the traditional techniques. Global efficiency and Root Mean Square Error evaluate the controller's performance. The response time is analyzed using the Grey Wolf Optimizer algorithm, Wolf Optimizer Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, and Particle Swarm Optimization. These four metaheuristic algorithms are compared to the Perturb and Observe, and Incremental Conductance algorithms. The models are analyzed for the transient state and full-day operation scenarios for constant and variable ir-radiations, temperatures, and loads. The comparative results show that the Maximum Power Point Tracking controller optimized by the Grey Wolf Optimizer algorithm has superior performance, giving an average 6% output power higher than the other controllers under the test scenarios evaluated. The efficiency of the proposed model was, on average, 3% higher than the Incremental Conductance and Perturb & Observe controllers. For the MPPT controller tunning stage, the Grey Wolf Optimizer Algorithm had the best performance with an RMSE of 255.3549 with a compute time of 27.3 min; the worst performing was the Particle Swarm Optimization with an RMSE of 332.4075 and 27.8 min computation time. The proposed GWO optimized MPPT controller had the faster settling time for each irradiation level compared, with an average of 0.175 s. Also, results showed an improvement of the system response throughout the Maximum Power Point Tracking controller optimized by the Grey Wolf Optimizer algorithm since a lower curling effect is obtained at power converter outputs.
