Abstract

This paper gives the realization of the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) method for the design of maximum power extraction techniques incorporated in the solar photovoltaic system to extract maximum energy under varying irradiation conditions. The hunting strategy and position updating strategy of the wolves balanced by some crucial mathematical parameters provide a rich diversification and intensification methodology in mapping the search space for the best possible solution. The projected format is considered for a PV array beneath partial shading which displays several peaks, and its tracking concert is related to that of two MPPT algorithms, namely, perturb and observe and Particle swarm optimization technique. The projected GWO tracking algorithm is carried out on a photovoltaic system using MATLAB/Simulink. As of the acquired MATLAB/Simulink end results, it is evaluated that the suggested GWO algorithm beats both Perturb and Observe and Particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques.
