High Efficiency Photovoltaic System with Fuzzy Logic Controller

Abstract

In this paper is presented high efficiency photovoltaic system (PV) with fuzzy logic controller. This system consists of PV panel, boost DC/DC converter and 24V DC load. Control module is realized with fuzzy controller. This controller has double function and it gives references for duty factor and switching frequency of the converter control signal. In this way the PV system works with applied maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method and switching frequency is changed on the way so the converter works with maximum efficiency in continuous current mode. Functionality of proposed model is tested through computer simulations in Matlab and on laboratory prototype.
