Abstract:

This paper introduces the MPPT control method to help PV solar cells reach maximum capacity thanks to the adaptive Fuzzy P&O MPPT algorithm. The power from the PV source through the traditional PI-controlled boost converter has a working point that always follows the MPPT point. Thanks to the Fuzzy P&O algorithm that allows adaptive correction of the perturbation step, the power can quickly reach a new maximum value when the ambient temperature and illuminance fluctuate. The new algorithm also eliminates oscillation around the MPPT’s entire operating point and improves the output voltage quality of the boost converter. The advantage of the adaptive Fuzzy P&O MPPT algorithm is confirmed by simulation on MATLAB with a 3.5kW, 100V for a PV system.
