In recent days, photovoltaic (PV) system is the most promising renewable energy technologies and the PV cell has to operate at the optimum operating point to deliver maximum power. In order to obtain maximum power from PV, a maximum power point controller is required. This paper presents the simulation and hardware implementation of fuzzy logic (FL) maximum power point (MPPT) controller with FPGA technology for photovoltaic system. The MPPT algorithm is implemented for a Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET based boost DC-DC converter which provides fast switching, low losses and high voltage gain. The proposed MPPT algorithm is implemented on a SPARTAN/FPGA board platform based on the model developed and executed in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The entire system designed and implemented to hardware was successfully tested on a laboratory prototype PV array. The experimental results show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed controller and the results were satisfactory.
