Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach that extracts the maximum power from photovoltaic (PV) system utilizing the Horse Herd Optimization (HHO) algorithm under different weather conditions, including fast changes in solar radiation (FCSR) and partial shading conditions (PSCs). The HHO algorithm is a technique for optimization that mimics the movement behavior exhibited by horses within a herd. The proposed MPPT controller has been tested and compared with other recognized metaheuristic algorithms, including the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Flower Pollination (FP), Deterministic PSO (DPSO), and Cuckoo Search (CS). According to the simulation results, the proposed HHO-based MPPT method is found to outperform other considered metaheuristic methods in terms of the maximum power extraction, fast-tracking, and settling times under various weather conditions. Additionally, the suggested MPPT controller is robust and can continuously track the MPP under the FCSR. The performance of the proposed HHO controller is validated experimentally on a real PV system. It is demonstrated that the proposed HHO algorithm is robust and capable of outperforming the other counterpart metaheuristic algorithms as well as offering the highest MPPT efficiency of about 98.81 % with a rapid tracking time of 2.2 s. Furthermore, it has the lowest power oscillations of about 1.91 %, ensuring stable and consistent power output.
