A new hybrid method based on Fuzzy Logic for maximum power point tracking of Photovoltaic Systems

Project Code :TEPGCS27

Objective

Main objective of this project is to track the maximum power point of PV to decrease computation power requirement, while increasing the speed and efficiency of the tracking.

Abstract

In this project, a new hybrid method based on fuzzy logic for maximum power point tracking of photovoltaic systems has been proposed. Solar panels have non-linear voltage–current features with only one particular point where maximum power is obtained. This optimal power point changes with oscillations in temperature and radiation intensity. 

The algorithm presents a comparison of two components, including work point calculation and accurate adjustment. Then, work point calculation estimates the maximum power point. Finally, accurate adjustment follows the accurate value of maximum power based on Fuzzy Logic (FL) method. 

The proposed method is able to improve the dynamic response and steady-state response of the PV systems and a comparison is made between the results of simulation and the existing techniques and the efficacy of the proposed method has been discussed.
