Abstract
In this paper an intelligent method of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using fuzzy logic control for stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system has been presented. The PV system is composed of PV solar array, buck DC-DC converter, and MPPT controller. Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is easy to implement, and does not need knowledge of the exact model of the system. Simulation results compared with those obtained by the conventional perturbation and observation (P&O) technique show the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic controller during steady-state and varying weather conditions.
