Application Modern Bio-Inspired Optimization Algorithm to Investigate the MPPT of Positive Output Super Lift Luo Converter for PV System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A modern bio-inspired optimization algorithm, namely Coot Bird Optimization (COBO), is proposed and displayed in this paper to investigate the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of Positive Output Super Lift Luo (POSLL) DC-DC converter for control of the proposed photovoltaic (PV) power system. The effectiveness of this suggested algorithm is evaluated. The goal of the optimization problem is to reduce the rising time, settling time, and ripple of the POSLL converter's output voltage in response to step changes in input voltage with the connected load. To improve control performance, the gain parameters of the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller are tuned using the MPPT proposed optimization technique. The MPPT algorithm has been developed to prove an efficient present optimization algorithm for solving optimization problem.
