An Emperor Penguin Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization Control algorithm for PV with ZSI in Grid Connected System

In the paper, a distributed controller for the analysis of SEPIC and Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) based grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) system. The PV systems are modeled, designed and implemented to given maximum power output with the help of proposed controller. In the paper, a distributed controller is designed to provide maximum output power and to working by changing irradiance and providing various range of active power. An enhanced controller is specified as the Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller with aid of hybrid approach. The hybrid approach is consisting of Emperor Penguin Optimization (EPO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). FOPID controller is the advanced PID controller and it gives a better output and robustness than the traditional PID controller. To enhance the performance of the FOPID, the gain parameters are optimized with the utilization of hybrid approach. For achieving the optimal power management and maximum power tracking, the objective function is defined and specified their constraints also. Here, two various methods have been deliberated to changing the inverter operation with constant irradiance and varied irradiance. The proposed method is tested by using MATLAB/Simulink and it is contrasted with the previously developed methods like base model, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and PSO algorithm.
