Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach called Multi-strategy Improved Chaotic Whale fused with Perturbation Observation method (IWOA-PO) for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) con-trol, to address the challenge of low efficiency in photovoltaic (PV) power generation under local shadows, according to the features of whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and perturbation observation (P&O) method. In the early stage of control algorithm, IWOA is used for global search to quickly locate the position of the Maximum Power Point (MPP). In the later stage of control algorithm, P&O is used for fine-grained local search to quickly, accurately and low oscillation track the position of the global maximum power point (GMPP). In order to verify the correctness, the tracking performance of IWOA-PO is comprehensively compared with WOA-PO、WOA、PSO under four conditions including uniform illumination, static partial shade, dynamic irradiance mutation and sudden changes in temperature and irradiance. In the above four conditions, the IWOA-PO algorithm has faster convergence and less power oscillations compared to the re-maining three algorithms, indicating that the IWOA-PO algorithm is effective. Finally, a physical verification experiment process is built to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in this paper.
