Abstract:
Photovoltaic (PV) systems have one of the highest potentials and operating ways for generating
electrical power by converting solar irradiation directly into the electrical energy. Consequently, it
is important to track the generated power of the PV system and utilize the collected solar energy
optimally. This paper proposes an integrated offline genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural
network (ANN) to track the solar power optimally based on various operation conditions due
to the uncertain climate change. Data are optimized by GA and then these optimum values
are used in neural network training. The obtained results show minimal error of maximum
power point (MPP), optimal voltage (Vmpp) and superior capability of the suggested method
in the maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The simulation results are presented by using
Matlab/Simulink and show that the neural networkGA controller of grid-connected mode can
meet the need of load easily and have fewer fluctuations around the maximum power point; also,
this method has well regulated PV output power and it produces extra power rather than fuzzy
logic method for different conditions.

1. INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy sources play an important role in electricity generation. Different renewable energy
sources such as a wind, solar, geothermal and biomass can be applied for generation of electricity and
for meeting our daily energy needs. Photovoltaic generation is becoming increasingly important as a
renewable source since it offers many advantages such as incurring no fuel costs, not being polluting,
required little maintenance, and emitting no noise, among others.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems have one of the highest potentials and operating ways for generating
electrical power by converting solar irradiation directly into the electrical energy. Although, developing
photovoltaic energy sources can reduce fossil fuel dependency, PV panels are low-energy conversion
efficient [1, 2].

In order to control maximum output power, using MPPT system is highly recommended. The output
power of a PV module varies as a function of the voltage and also the MPP is change by variation of
temperature and sun irradiation. A DC-to-DC converter locates among PV systems and users, which
switching operation of this converter is performed by the MPPT [3]. In the last few decades, different
methods are utilized in order to achieve maximum power. The most prevalent technics are perturbation
and observation algorithm (P&O) [3, 4] Incremental conductance (IC) [5, 6] fuzzy logic [7, 8] and ANN
[9–11].
According to above mentioned research, the benefits of perturbation and observation algorithm and
incremental conductance are1- low cost implementation 2-simple algorithm. The depletion of these
methods is vast fluctuation of output power around the MPP even under steady state illumination which
results in the loss of available energy [12–15]. However the fast variation of weather condition affects the
output and these technics cannot track the maximum power.
Using fuzzy logic can solve the two mentioned problem dramatically. In fact, fuzzy logic controller
can reduce the oscillations of output power around the MPPT and has faster respond than P&O and IC.
Furthermore, convergence speed of this way is higher than two mentioned way. One the weak point of
fuzzy logic comparing to neural network is oscillations of output power around the MPP [14, 15].
Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have numerous applications in determining the size
of PV systems, MPPT control and optimal structure of photovoltaic systems. In most cases, multilayer
perceptron (MLP) neural networks or radial basis function network (RBFN) have been employed for
modeling PV module and MPPT controller in PV systems [16, 17].
ANN based controllers are applied to forecast optimum voltages corresponding to the MPP of PV
system for different radiations and temperatures conditions. A review on AI methods applications in
renewable energy was studied in these literatures [9, 18]. Neural networks are the best estimation for
non-linear systems and by using ANN, oscillations of output power around the MPPT and time to reach
the MPP are decreased [6].
In [19–21], GA is used for data optimization and then, the optimum values are utilized for training
neural networks and the results show that, the GA technic has less fluctuation in comparison with the
conventional methods. However, one of the major drawbacks in mentioned papers that they are not
practically connected to the grid in order to ensure the analysis of photovoltaic system performance, which
is not considered.
In this paper first, temperature and irradiance as inputs data are given to genetic algorithm and optimal
voltages (Vmpp) corresponding to the MPP are obtained then, these optimum values are used in the neural
network training. Photovoltaic module is connected to the grid using a P-Q controller of grid side to
exchange active and reactive power and observe system efficiency in different weather conditions.
The paper is organized as follows: In part 2 detail of PV system is described. Part 3 is discussed steps
to implement the GA and neural networks, respectively. In part 4 fuzzy logic method is presented. In part
5 P-Q controller is described and in part 6 the results are presented based on current study.

3. MPPT ANN AND GA
3.1 The Steps of Implementing Genetic Algorithm
In order to pursue the optimum point for maximum power in any environmental condition, ANN
and GA technic are used. Besides, GA is used for optimum values and then optimum values are used
for training ANN [19–21]. The procedure employed for implementing genetic algorithm is as follows
[19, 22]: 1. determining the target function 2. determining the initial population size, 3. appraising
the population using the target function, and 4. conducting convergence test stop if convergence is
provided.The target function of GA is applied for its optimization by the following: finding the optimum
X = (X1,X2,X3,··· ,Xn) to determine the F(X) in the maximum value, where the number of design variables
are regarded as 1. X is the design variable equal to PV system current and also, F(X) is the PV system
output power that must be maximized [21]. To determine the target function, the power should be set
based on the PV system current (IX ). The genetic algorithm structures are presented in Table 2.

The current constraint should be considered too. With maximizing this function, the optimum values
for Vmpp and MPP will result in any particular temperature and irradiance intensity.
3.2 Combination of Proposed Neural Network with Genetic Algorithm
Neural networks are most appropriate for the approximation (modeling) of nonlinear systems. Non-
linear systems can be approximated by multi-layer neural networks and these multi-layer networks have
better result in comparison with the other algorithm [16, 18]. In this paper, feed forward neural network
32
Comparative Study of ANN-GA and Fuzzy Controller for Photovoltaic System in the Grid Connected Mode
for MPPT process control is used. The important section of this technic is that, the required data for
training process must be obtained for each PV module and each specific location [11].
Three layers can be considered for the proposed ANN. The input variables are temperature and solar
irradiance and Vmpp corresponding to MPP is output variable of the neural network as shown in Figure 2.
Proposed MPPT Scheme is illustrated in Figure 3. The sum of pi controller and High frequency triangular
carrier for pwm generation is conducted toward boost converter.

Figure 3. Proposed MPPT Scheme.
Figure 4. Inputs data of irradiation and temperature.
The output of PV system has varied during time and environmental conditions. Thus, periodic training
of the ANN is needed. Training of the ANN is a set of 500 data as shown in Figure 4. ( irradiance
between 0.05 to 1 watt per square meter (W/m2) and temperatures between -5oC to 55oC) and also, a set
of 500 Vmpp corresponding to MPP is obtained by GA as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. The output of Vmpp-Mpp optimized by (GA).
In order to implementation of the ANN for MPPT, first it should be determined the number of layers,
number of neurons in each layer, transmission function in each layer and type of training network. The
proposed ANN in this paper has three layers which first and second layers have respectively 16 and 11
neurons and third layer has 1 neuron. The transfer functions for first and second layers are Tansig and
for third layer is Purelin. The training function is Trainlm. The acceptable sum of squares for network
is supposed to be 10−9. Which training this neural network in 850 iterations, will converge to a desired
target. After training, the output of training network should be close to optimum output from GA. Figure
6 show the output of the neural network training with the amount of target. A set of 80 data is used for
the ANN test. Figure 7 illustrate the output of the neural network test with the amount of target which
showing a negligible training error percentage of about 0.3%.
4. FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER
Fuzzy logic is popular in the last decade. MPPT using fuzzy logic control obtains several advantages of
better performance, powerful and simple design. In addition, this method does not require the knowledge
of the exact model of system. It is known by multi-rules-based resolution and multivariable consideration
[12]. Fuzzy logic controller is made of three parts which is demonstrated in Figure 8(a). First part
is fuzzification which is the process of changing a real scalar value into a fuzzy set. Second part is
fuzzy inference motor that combines IF-THEN statements based on fuzzy principle and finally, we have
defuzzification which is the process that changes a fuzzy set into a real value in output [? ]. The proposed
FLC has two inputs and one output. The two FLC input variables are the error (E) and change of error
(CE) as demonstrated by the following equation (9), (10). The output of FLC is duty cycle (D) that it is
used, for the tracking of the MPP by comparing with the saw tooth waveform to generate a PWM signal
for the boost converter.

Three triangle membership functions are considered in this article. In this paper Mamdanis fuzzy
inference method, with Max-Min operation fuzzy combination is used. Given membership functions
are shown in Figure 8(b), (c) and (d). The fuzzy rule algorithm includes 25 fuzzy control rules listed in

Moreover, The rules implemented to obtain the required data are shown in Table 3.The linguistic
variables are represented by ZE (zero), PB (positive big), PS (positive small), NB (negative big), NS
(negative small), respectively.
5. CONTROL STRATEGY (P-Q)
Inverter control model is illustrated in Figure 9 The goal of controlling the grid side, is keeping the
dc link voltage in a constant value regardless of production power magnitude. Internal control-loop
which control the grid current and external control loop which control the voltage [23]. Also, internal
control-loop which is responsible for power quality such as low total harmonic distortion (THD) and
improvement of power quality and external control-loop is responsible for balancing the power. For
reactive power control, reference voltage will be set same as dc link voltage. In grid-connected mode,
photovoltaic module must supply local needs to decrease power from the main grid. One the main aspects
of P-Q control loop is grid connection and stand-alone function. The advantages of this operation mode
are higher power reliability and higher power quality.
6. SIMULATION RESULTS

6.1 Variation of Irradiance and Temperature
In order to compare the accuracy and efficiency of the three MPPT algorithms selected in this paper,
Matlab/Simulink is used to implement the tasks of modeling and simulation. The main objective of this
case is investigated comparative study of MPPT algorithms under variations of irradiance and temperature
in PV system. The system is connected to the main grid that includes 3200W photovoltaic system and the
amount of load is 3200 W. There is no power exchange between photovoltaic system and grid in normal
condition.
The following simulation is presented for different insolation levels at fixed temperature of 25oC as
shown in Figure 11(a). The output voltage and the current of PV are depicted in Figure 11 (b) and (c),
respectively. When irradiance is decreased at t=3.5 and t=7, it lead to decrease in the output current
of PV as shown in Figure 11(c). It is worth to mention that the evaluation of the proposed controller
is compared and analyzed with the fuzzy logic controller and P&O algorithms. The proposed MPPT

algorithm can track accurately the MPP when the irradiance changes continuously; also, this method has
well regulated PV output power and it produces extra power rather than fuzzy logic and P&O methods
as indicated in Figure 11(d). Therefore, the injected power from main grid to photovoltaic system is
decreased as demonstrated in Figure 11(e). Fuzzy logic and P&O method perform a fluctuated PV power

even after the MPP operating has been successfully tracked. Table 4 shows the comparison of real power
value and presented methods in the different irradiation conditions.

In order to realize a precise analysis of the performance of the ANN-GA technique, different temperature
levels at fixed insolation of 1000W/m2 as shown in Figure 12(a). The grid voltage is indicated in Figure
12(b). Figure 12(c) shows the variation of the output current of PV. The ANN-GA method shows smother
power, less oscillating and better stable operating point than fuzzy logic and P&O methods. It has more
accuracy for operating at MPP also, it generates exceeding power and it possesses faster dynamic response
rather than mentioned technique as depicted in Figure 12(d). Consequently, the grid power injection
to the photovoltaic system is declined as illustrated in Figure 12(e). In the view of power stabilization,

the PV power which is controlled by ANN-GA is more stable than the fuzzy logic and P&O methods.
Table 5 shows the comparison of real power value and presented methods in the different temperature
conditions.

From the results, it is noted that the proposed ANN-GA algorithm for MPP shows smother power
signal line and better stable operating point than both fuzzy logic and P&O algorithms. It can be derived
that the ANN-GA based algorithm has better performance than both fuzzy logic and P&O methods, and it
has more accuracy for operating at MPP.

6.2 Noisy Irradiance and Temperature
For realistic conditions, it is needed to analyze the noises in a PV system. Simulation results are shown
the comparison of the proposed method and the fuzzy logic and the P&O methods for irradiation and
temperature changes in different noise levels as illustrated in Figure 13 (a) and (c). It is worth to mention
that the evaluation of the proposed controller shows the better performance in severe condition than
the aforementioned methods. At the presence of noise, the tracked output power by using ANN-GA is
more than aforementioned methods, since the proposed method can decrease the effects of uncertainty.
Performance of systems by using proposed method is desirable even with limited changes in system
parameters. But using of conventional methods lead to wide error in this situation as depicted in Figure
13 (b) and (d).
7. CONCLUSIONS
An integrated scheme for optimal power tracking was proposed in this paper. With the aid of this
method, the PV system was able to perform and to enhance the production of the electrical energy at
an optimal solution under various operating conditions. The GA based offline trained ANN is used
to provide the reference voltage corresponding to the maximum power for any environmental changes.
The simulation results show that using ANN-GA controller can dramatically reduce the disadvantages
of previous approaches and also, it can decrease oscillations of power output around the MPP and can
increase convergence speed to achieve the MPP in comparison with fuzzy logic method; also, this method
had well regulated PV output power and it produced extra power rather than fuzzy logic for different
conditions. The proposed algorithm was verified and it was found that the error percentage of Vmpp
between 0.2% to 0.3%. This error could be reduced by increasing the number of the training data for
ANN.

SOP TRANSACTIONS ON POWER TRANSMISSION AND SMART GRID Volume 1, Number 1, December 2014 SOP TRANSACTIONS ON POWER TRANSMISSION AND SMART GRID Comparative Study of ANN-GA and Fuzzy Controller for Photovoltaic System in the Grid Connected Mode Alireza Rezvani*, Maziar Izadbakhsh, Majid Gandomkar, Foad Haidari Gandoman, Saeed Vafaei Department of Electrical Engineering, Saveh Branch, Islamic Azad University, Saveh, Iran. *Corresponding author: alireza.rezvani.saveh@gmail.com Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) systems have one of the highest potentials and operating ways for generating electrical power by converting solar irradiation directly into the electrical energy. Consequently, it is important to track the generated power of the PV system and utilize the collected solar energy optimally. This paper proposes an integrated offline genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN) to track the solar power optimally based on various operation conditions due to the uncertain climate change. Data are optimized by GA and then these optimum values are used in neural network training. The obtained results show minimal error of maximum power point (MPP), optimal voltage (Vmpp) and superior capability of the suggested method in the maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The simulation results are presented by using Matlab/Simulink and show that the neural networkGA controller of grid-connected mode can meet the need of load easily and have fewer fluctuations around the maximum power point; also, this method has well regulated PV output power and it produces extra power rather than fuzzy logic method for different conditions. Keywords: Photovoltaic, Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm, Fuzzy Logic 1. INTRODUCTION Renewable energy sources play an important role in electricity generation. Different renewable energy sources such as a wind, solar, geothermal and biomass can be applied for generation of electricity and for meeting our daily energy needs. Photovoltaic generation is becoming increasingly important as a renewable source since it offers many advantages such as incurring no fuel costs, not being polluting, required little maintenance, and emitting no noise, among others. Photovoltaic (PV) systems have one of the highest potentials and operating ways for generating electrical power by converting solar irradiation directly into the electrical energy. Although, developing photovoltaic energy sources can reduce fossil fuel dependency, PV panels are low-energy conversion efficient [1, 2]. 29
  • 2. SOP TRANSACTIONS ON POWER TRANSMISSION AND SMART GRID In order to control maximum output power, using MPPT system is highly recommended. The output power of a PV module varies as a function of the voltage and also the MPP is change by variation of temperature and sun irradiation. A DC-to-DC converter locates among PV systems and users, which switching operation of this converter is performed by the MPPT [3]. In the last few decades, different methods are utilized in order to achieve maximum power. The most prevalent technics are perturbation and observation algorithm (P&O) [3, 4] Incremental conductance (IC) [5, 6] fuzzy logic [7, 8] and ANN [9–11]. According to above mentioned research, the benefits of perturbation and observation algorithm and incremental conductance are1- low cost implementation 2-simple algorithm. The depletion of these methods is vast fluctuation of output power around the MPP even under steady state illumination which results in the loss of available energy [12–15]. However the fast variation of weather condition affects the output and these technics cannot track the maximum power. Using fuzzy logic can solve the two mentioned problem dramatically. In fact, fuzzy logic controller can reduce the oscillations of output power around the MPPT and has faster respond than P&O and IC. Furthermore, convergence speed of this way is higher than two mentioned way. One the weak point of fuzzy logic comparing to neural network is oscillations of output power around the MPP [14, 15]. Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have numerous applications in determining the size of PV systems, MPPT control and optimal structure of photovoltaic systems. In most cases, multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks or radial basis function network (RBFN) have been employed for modeling PV module and MPPT controller in PV systems [16, 17]. ANN based controllers are applied to forecast optimum voltages corresponding to the MPP of PV system for different radiations and temperatures conditions. A review on AI methods applications in renewable energy was studied in these literatures [9, 18]. Neural networks are the best estimation for non-linear systems and by using ANN, oscillations of output power around the MPPT and time to reach the MPP are decreased [6]. In [19–21], GA is used for data optimization and then, the optimum values are utilized for training neural networks and the results show that, the GA technic has less fluctuation in comparison with the conventional methods. However, one of the major drawbacks in mentioned papers that they are not practically connected to the grid in order to ensure the analysis of photovoltaic system performance, which is not considered. In this paper first, temperature and irradiance as inputs data are given to genetic algorithm and optimal voltages (Vmpp) corresponding to the MPP are obtained then, these optimum values are used in the neural network training. Photovoltaic module is connected to the grid using a P-Q controller of grid side to exchange active and reactive power and observe system efficiency in different weather conditions. The paper is organized as follows: In part 2 detail of PV system is described. Part 3 is discussed steps to implement the GA and neural networks, respectively. In part 4 fuzzy logic method is presented. In part 5 P-Q controller is described and in part 6 the results are presented based on current study. 2.

  • 4. SOP TRANSACTIONS ON POWER TRANSMISSION AND SMART GRID 3. MPPT ANN AND GA 3.1 The Steps of Implementing Genetic Algorithm In order to pursue the optimum point for maximum power in any environmental condition, ANN and GA technic are used. Besides, GA is used for optimum values and then optimum values are used for training ANN [19–21]. The procedure employed for implementing genetic algorithm is as follows [19, 22]: 1. determining the target function 2. determining the initial population size, 3. appraising the population using the target function, and 4. conducting convergence test stop if convergence is provided.The target function of GA is applied for its optimization by the following: finding the optimum X = (X1,X2,X3,··· ,Xn) to determine the F(X) in the maximum value, where the number of design variables are regarded as 1. X is the design variable equal to PV system current and also, F(X) is the PV system output power that must be maximized [21]. To determine the target function, the power should be set based on the PV system current (IX ). The genetic algorithm structures are presented in Table 2. Table 2. Genetic algorithm parameters Number of Design Variable 1 Population size 20 Crossover constant 80% Mutation rate 10% Maximum Generations 20 F(x) = VX ∗IX (5) VX = ns v0 − RS np IX +(nk(T +273)/q)Ln∗ IPV −IX /np +I0 I0 (6) To determine the objective function, the power should be arranged based on the current of array (IX ): F(X) = ns v0 − RS np IX +(nk(T +273)/q)Ln∗ IPV −IX /np +I0 I0 ∗IX (7) 0 < IX < ISC (8) The current constraint should be considered too. With maximizing this function, the optimum values for Vmpp and MPP will result in any particular temperature and irradiance intensity. 3.2 Combination of Proposed Neural Network with Genetic Algorithm Neural networks are most appropriate for the approximation (modeling) of nonlinear systems. Non- linear systems can be approximated by multi-layer neural networks and these multi-layer networks have better result in comparison with the other algorithm [16, 18]. In this paper, feed forward neural network 32
  • 5. Comparative Study of ANN-GA and Fuzzy Controller for Photovoltaic System in the Grid Connected Mode for MPPT process control is used. The important section of this technic is that, the required data for training process must be obtained for each PV module and each specific location [11]. Three layers can be considered for the proposed ANN. The input variables are temperature and solar irradiance and Vmpp corresponding to MPP is output variable of the neural network as shown in Figure 2. Proposed MPPT Scheme is illustrated in Figure 3. The sum of pi controller and High frequency triangular carrier for pwm generation is conducted toward boost converter. Figure 2. Feed forward neural network for MPPT. Figure 3. Proposed MPPT Scheme. Figure 4. Inputs data of irradiation and temperature. The output of PV system has varied during time and environmental conditions. Thus, periodic training of the ANN is needed. Training of the ANN is a set of 500 data as shown in Figure 4. ( irradiance between 0.05 to 1 watt per square meter (W/m2) and temperatures between -5oC to 55oC) and also, a set of 500 Vmpp corresponding to MPP is obtained by GA as shown in Figure 5. 33
  • 6. SOP TRANSACTIONS ON POWER TRANSMISSION AND SMART GRID Figure 5. The output of Vmpp-Mpp optimized by (GA). In order to implementation of the ANN for MPPT, first it should be determined the number of layers, number of neurons in each layer, transmission function in each layer and type of training network. The proposed ANN in this paper has three layers which first and second layers have respectively 16 and 11 neurons and third layer has 1 neuron. The transfer functions for first and second layers are Tansig and for third layer is Purelin. The training function is Trainlm. The acceptable sum of squares for network is supposed to be 10−9. Which training this neural network in 850 iterations, will converge to a desired target. After training, the output of training network should be close to optimum output from GA. Figure 6 show the output of the neural network training with the amount of target. A set of 80 data is used for the ANN test. Figure 7 illustrate the output of the neural network test with the amount of target which showing a negligible training error percentage of about 0.3%. 4. FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER Fuzzy logic is popular in the last decade. MPPT using fuzzy logic control obtains several advantages of better performance, powerful and simple design. In addition, this method does not require the knowledge of the exact model of system. It is known by multi-rules-based resolution and multivariable consideration [12]. Fuzzy logic controller is made of three parts which is demonstrated in Figure 8(a). First part is fuzzification which is the process of changing a real scalar value into a fuzzy set. Second part is fuzzy inference motor that combines IF-THEN statements based on fuzzy principle and finally, we have defuzzification which is the process that changes a fuzzy set into a real value in output [? ]. The proposed FLC has two inputs and one output. The two FLC input variables are the error (E) and change of error (CE) as demonstrated by the following equation (9), (10). The output of FLC is duty cycle (D) that it is used, for the tracking of the MPP by comparing with the saw tooth waveform to generate a PWM signal for the boost converter. Equations 34

CONTROL STRATEGY (P-Q) Inverter control model is illustrated in Figure 9 The goal of controlling the grid side, is keeping the dc link voltage in a constant value regardless of production power magnitude. Internal control-loop which control the grid current and external control loop which control the voltage [23]. Also, internal control-loop which is responsible for power quality such as low total harmonic distortion (THD) and improvement of power quality and external control-loop is responsible for balancing the power. For reactive power control, reference voltage will be set same as dc link voltage. In grid-connected mode, photovoltaic module must supply local needs to decrease power from the main grid. One the main aspects of P-Q control loop is grid connection and stand-alone function. The advantages of this operation mode are higher power reliability and higher power quality. 6.

The main objective of this case is investigated comparative study of MPPT algorithms under variations of irradiance and temperature in PV system. The system is connected to the main grid that includes 3200W photovoltaic system and the amount of load is 3200 W. There is no power exchange between photovoltaic system and grid in normal condition. The following simulation is presented for different insolation levels at fixed temperature of 25oC as shown in Figure 11(a). The output voltage and the current of PV are depicted in Figure 11 (b) and (c), respectively. When irradiance is decreased at t=3.5 and t=7, it lead to decrease in the output current of PV as shown in Figure 11(c). It is worth to mention that the evaluation of the proposed controller is compared and analyzed with the fuzzy logic controller and P&O algorithms. The proposed MPPT 36

Therefore, the injected power from main grid to photovoltaic system is decreased as demonstrated in Figure 11(e). Fuzzy logic and P&O method perform a fluctuated PV power 37

Comparative Study of ANN-GA and Fuzzy Controller for Photovoltaic System in the Grid Connected Mode 6.2 Noisy Irradiance and Temperature For realistic conditions, it is needed to analyze the noises in a PV system. Simulation results are shown the comparison of the proposed method and the fuzzy logic and the P&O methods for irradiation and temperature changes in different noise levels as illustrated in Figure 13 (a) and (c). It is worth to mention that the evaluation of the proposed controller shows the better performance in severe condition than the aforementioned methods. At the presence of noise, the tracked output power by using ANN-GA is more than aforementioned methods, since the proposed method can decrease the effects of uncertainty. Performance of systems by using proposed method is desirable even with limited changes in system parameters. But using of conventional methods lead to wide error in this situation as depicted in Figure 13 (b) and (d). 7. CONCLUSIONS An integrated scheme for optimal power tracking was proposed in this paper. With the aid of this method, the PV system was able to perform and to enhance the production of the electrical energy at an optimal solution under various operating conditions. The GA based offline trained ANN is used to provide the reference voltage corresponding to the maximum power for any environmental changes. The simulation results show that using ANN-GA controller can dramatically reduce the disadvantages of previous approaches and also, it can decrease oscillations of power output around the MPP and can increase convergence speed to achieve the MPP in comparison with fuzzy logic method; also, this method had well regulated PV output power and it produced extra power rather than fuzzy logic for different conditions. The proposed algorithm was verified and it was found that the error percentage of Vmpp between 0.2% to 0.3%. This error could be reduced by increasing the number of the training data for ANN.
