Abstract
This paper presents the analysis and operation of a grid connected photovoltaic (PV)energy conversion system with an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)based maximum power point tracking (MPPT)algorithm. Particle swarm optimization is used to train the membership functions while the least squares algorithm is used to update the consequent parameters of the ANFIS with changing operating condition of PV solar system. The MPPT algorithm maximizes conversion efficiency by adjusting the duty cycle of the buck boost converter to change the output voltage of the solar panel and hence achieving the maximum panel output power for a given set of environmental conditions. The ANFIS is trained by using a hybrid algorithm implementing least squares estimator and particle swarm optimization with data obtained by operating the system using the Perturb and Observe (P&O)MPPT algorithm. The performance of the proposed ANFIS based MPPT algorithm is validated in simulation using MATLAB/Simulink at different operating conditions. It is proven that the designed ANFIS based MPPT scheme achieves a very fast response with little oscillations while transferring maximum power from solar panel to the grid line as compared to the conventional P&O based MPPT scheme.
