Abstract

This paper proposes a new hybrid global maximum power point (GMPP) tracking algorithm which is a linear extrapolation-based grey wolf optimization algorithm (LEGWO). The LEGWO combines the advantages of a grey wolf optimization algorithm (GWO) and a linear extrapolation-based maximum power point tracking algorithm. As a result, this algorithm enables fast and accurate tracking of the GMPP. The proposed algorithm is verified by comparison simulation results of a perturbation and observation algorithm and the GWO in MATLAB/Simulink. The results validate that the LEGWO does not converge at the local maximum power point and tracks the exact GMPP. Also, the tracking time of the LEGWO is 53.09% faster than the GWO.
