Abstract

Due to strong industrial expansion, the need for electrical power has increased in recent years. As more than just a by-product of this increased dependence on fossil fuels, resource depletion occurs, and renewable sources such as solar, wind, and wave energy sources have begun to operate as an electricity source and are now playing a key role. Solar energy has been widely used in power systems, particularly in the form of photovoltaic (PV) generating units. Control scheme is a technique for obtaining electricity from a solar photovoltaic system under changing environmental circumstances. The proposed research compares two control methods: incremental conductance algorithm and fuzzy logic, in order to maximise the efficiency of a solar PV system. The algorithms described above change the switching frequency of the power converter to monitor a solar PV array's global MPP. In MATLAB/Simulink, the simulation is run, and the performance is evaluated. The simulated findings imply that the fuzzy logic controller performs better than the incremental conductance technique.
