Abstract : Modelled and designed an efficient controller with an effective control method for a connected solar PV system. The proposed model is created by combining an integrated converter, a maximum power point tracker (MPPT), and an efficient controller with an effective control scheme. The proposed controller is designed using the adaptive grasshopper optimization algorithm (AGOA). The proposed controller delivers precise control signals for optimal switching in the system and creates a database of control signals for optimal power flow in the system. The proposed model is run in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the efficiency of the system is compared with other existing methods.

Keywords : Solar Energy, PV System, Microgrid, Integrated Converter, AGOA-Based Controller.
