Abstract
As a kind of inexhaustible renewable energy, solar energy is popular, and photovoltaic power generation has been paid attention to by all circles. However, determining the global maximum power point (GMPP) is difficult under external ambient temperature and light intensity change, and MPPT control technology becomes the key to research. Fast, accurate, and stable GMPP capture has become a hot research problem in PV power generation systems. The GWO algorithm incorporating the Levy flight function and the INC using the vertex as the dividing point with different step sizes on the left and right sides are combined and applied to the MPPT control strategy of PV systems. The global search is completed by IGWO first, and then the exact search is completed by the improved INC when it is close to the global optimum. The final tracking accuracy is above 99%, and compared with the GWO, INC, and ICS-IP&O algorithms, respectively, in the case of abrupt changes, the tracking time is accelerated by 0.021 s on average. The oscillation amplitude is smaller, and the voltage is more stable.
