will join to prime individual to form new population on
the next generation. However, in this algorithm
modelling, it has limitations in population size and
individual numbers. Here, the population size is fixed.
The next generation population is formed by selecting
prime chromosome and baby chromosome based on
fitness function or it is called strength level on natural

b. Correlation testing
The performance of maximum power point
tracking by using genetic algorithm is effected by the
value of used algorithm, so that correlation testing to
each input and output parameter is done. Every testing
needs 33 iterations. The result can be seen in Table 4.
