Abstract

ABSTRACTIn photovoltaic systems in order to ensure the stable operation of the module, ripple value of the input voltage should be mitigated to a small value; for this purpose, the power decoupling circuit can be used. In this work, considering the four-switch-based power decoupling circuit developed, the conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller has been replaced with well-known fuzzy controller, which enjoys a wide range of control gain variation, both linear and nonlinear rules' capability, robustness and more flexibility. The operating modes of the circuit are addressed and accordingly the space state model is derived. Then, the proposed controller has been replaced and the performance of the system will be analysed. The power decoupling circuit along with the proposed controller is implemented by MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results show the ability of the proposed fuzzy controller to improve the performance of the system in comparison to the conventional PI controller. A deeper comparison of two controllers confirms that the system would experience more accuracy, faster response and lower total harmonic distortion (THD) in presence of the proposed fuzzy controller.
