Abstract

This paper presents an optimal design of a fuzzy control rule base for tracking the maximum power point of a photovoltaic (PV) system. Fuzzy control is used for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV systems because it has the advantage of processing nonlinear systems. The rule base of fuzzy control depends on the user or designer’s experience and determines the fuzzy control’s performance. In this paper, we divide the MPPT state of the PV system into four cases according to the operating conditions, and propose the rule base design of the fuzzy control according to each case. The proposed method in the paper tests the MPPT performance using artificial lighting and compares the results with the conventional control method (proportional and integral (PI) and perturbation & observation (P&O) method) to prove its effectiveness.
