Abstract
Due to the easiness of setup and great energy efficiency, direct current (DC) microgrids (MGs) have become more common. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cell (FC) systems drive the DC MG. Under varying irradiance and temperature, this work proposes a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach deployed to PV panel and FC generated boost converter. PV panels must be operated at their maximum power point (MPP) to enhance efficiency and shorten the system’s payback period. There are different kinds of MPPT approaches for using PV panels at that moment. Still, the FLC-based MPPT approach was chosen in this study because it responds instantaneously to environmental changes and is unaffected by circuit parameter changes. Similarly, this research proposes a better design strategy for FLC systems. It will improve the system reliability and stability of the response of the system. An FLC evaluates PV and FC via DC–DC boost converters to obtain this enhanced response time and accuracy.
Highlights
Energy usage on a global scale is gradually increasing
Installing direct current (DC) MGs based on renewable energy sources (RESs) such as solar PV and fuel cell (FC) with energy storage system (ESS) [1] is simple and cost-effective
An fuzzy logic controller (FLC)—based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for PV modules and FC is provided in this study
Summary
Energy usage on a global scale is gradually increasing. Conventional energy sources produce greenhouse gases. MGs, including increased efficiency, reliability, and losses and harmonics created converters are steadily increasing, contaminating the reduced pollution They do not have to worry about frequency or reactive power, making electrical grid. The conversion losses sumption and advancement of renewable energies are among the topics studied in renewand harmonics created by converters are steadily increasing, contaminating the electrical able energy research. PV, wind, FC, biomass, and small-scale hydraulic power made of metal hydride are more expensive and bulkier than gas tanks Still, they are safer generations give the perfect developing importance in the systems for generating green in the event of an accident, which is why they are so crucial for self-governing systems in energy.
