Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) is a highly promising energy source because of its environment friendly property. However, there is an uncertainty present in the modeling of PV modules owing to varying irradiance and temperature. To solve such uncertainty, the fuzzy logic control-based intelligent maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method is observed to be more suitable as compared with conventional algorithms in PV systems. In this paper, an isolated PV system using a push pull converter with the fuzzy logic-based MPPT algorithm is presented. The proposed methodology optimizes the output power of PV modules and achieves isolation with high DC gain. The DC gain is inverted into a single phase AC through a closed loop fuzzy logic inverter with a low pass filter to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD). Dynamic simulations are developed in Matlab/Simulink by MathWorks under linear loads. The results show that the fuzzy logic algorithms of the proposed system efficiently track the MPPT and present reduced THD.

Summary
Energy is the need of the modern world, but its conventional sources are depleting with each passing day, which includes thermal, nuclear, and natural gas [1,2,3]. These sources are insufficient and not environment friendly [4,5]. Owing to the continuous diminishing of conventional sources [1,2], the active power generation and the control and compensation of reactive power are becoming the focus for the economic dispatch [8,9,10,11,12], and researchers have found the way to optimally generate, shed, and forecast the electrical power [13,14,15]. Solar energy has become one of the free, clean, and reliable sources of energy [3,16]
