In this study, an intuitive control technique based on ‘fifth‐order generalised‐integrator (FOGI)’ is proposed for grid‐connected solar photovoltaic (PV) energy conversions system (SECS). In the grid‐tied SECS, a single‐phase single‐stage topology is considered. Moreover, on solar PV array, partially shaded condition is considered, where for global maximum power point tracking, the human psychology optimisation is utilised. The prime intention of the control technique is, feed all the generated solar power at the unity power factor into the grid, which is successfully achieved by the FOGI‐based control method. During the evaluation of the performance of control based on FOGI, different adverse conditions related to the grid and dynamic change of solar insolation are considered, where the proposed control technique's performance illustrates the fulfilment of the motive of the work.
