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

作者:

Highlights:

• An MPPT model optimized by GWO is proposed based on a discrete-time PID controller.

• The controller is compared against other algorithms, P&O, and INC techniques.

• The system response is analyzed for real irradiation, temperature, and load.

• The proposed controller has low oscillations.

• The proposed controller runs well under varying weather conditions.
