Abstract
This study employs an advanced meta-heuristic optimization technique called Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) to
adjust a novel Incremental Conductance (IC) based maximum power point tracking controllers for one section of a
practical photovoltaic (PV) station with an overall capacity of 10 MW. Different scenarios of solar irradiance, temperature
variation, and load fluctuations were used to check the feasibility of the proposed optimizer. The simulation analysis of
Matlab™/Simulink results show that dynamic behavior enhancement of the overall PV system can be increased via PI/FOPI
controllers tuned with in a shorter time.
