Abstract

 This paper presents a method that modify firefly algorithm method, the existing firefly algorithm method uses the principle of spreading several duty cycles which are later compared to each power gain from the spread and the best one is taken. In this
proposed method, the firefly algorithm computation is being simplified and combined with perturb and observe control so the time to reach the global maximum power is reduced and the output power is not fluctuating. To control the output power the SEPIC
Converter topology is used. To ensure the maximum power generated, the duty cycle of the SEPIC Converter is adjusted using modified firefly algorithm control. Then it will be compared with existing firefly algorithm and perturb and observe control to verify the proposed method is faster and not fluctuating.
