Abstract

The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems for generating electric power is increasing in our everyday lives but since the generated voltage and current vary non linearly it has been very difficult to trace the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV systems so to overcome with this problem many power tracking methods were introduced out of which fuzzy logic technique was found to be one of the easy and efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method. In this paper, various MPPT algorithms are observed how they help in improving the efficiency of PV systems by adjusting the duty ratio of the power interface, and also understand why the fuzzy logic control (FLC) technique is preferred over other algorithms. The system was established using MATLAB/Simulink.
