A WIDE RANGE FUZZY BASED MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKER

FOR IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY AND SIZING OF PV SYSTEMS

This paper presents a wide range of maximum power point
tracker (MPPT) using fuzzy logic controller for PV size and
increased efficiency. MPPT consists of a buck converter that
works to increase and is controlled by fuzzy logic. Fuzzy has two
inputs and outputs. Input is the voltage and current from the PV,
while the duty cycle of the output is to increase the money. MPPT
effectively track at an average of 97.3% of the peak power under
different irradiances and solar load resistance. Without MPPT, PV
produces output at an average of 67.7% of peak power.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) has been widely used as a generator of
renewable energy systems. Solar PV has a relatively low
conversion efficiency and generate maximum output power at
certain load resistance .., maximum PV output at 50 watts, when
the radiation is 1000 Watt / m2. At lower irradiances, the
maximum output below 50 Watt, while matching the load
resistance is higher., Maximum power occurs at a certain
resistance point only, if not PV work in non optimal conditions.
A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is required to solve the
problem. MPPT work electronically to maintain output at
maximum power, not mechanically change the position of the
solar panels. It adjusts the output voltage, so the power is always
at the maximum point in condition. Comparison of size using
conventional methods, for example using the MPPT Based Fuzzy
buck boost converter to adjust the output voltage of the PV
panel. Buck Boost able to move or retreat output of the voltage
source. The converter is controlled by fuzzy logic with 2 inputs
and 1 output. Input fed by the voltage and current PV terminal,
while the output provides the cycle to raise money.
Buck Boost converter By adjusting k at a predetermined value
depending on the voltage and current PV, PV output power can
be maintained at the maximum point. K value is determined by
the fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy logic design based on the
characteristics of PV panel. Voltage, current and power at the
maximum power point investigated under various solar
irradiances for reference. Fuzzy logic membership functions later
parameter to consider coming on power point. , When the input
voltage is very very small (VVS), and the input current is also
VVS, then the output will VVS. Similar conditions apply to very
small (VS), small (S), medium (M), large (B), very large (VB), and
a very very big (VVB). MPPT can effectively track and keep
working at the maximum power point when it reaches 5 Ohm

load resistance and higher. MPPT provide 94.2% of the maximum

point, while below 1000 W / m2 is 96.7%. Top tracking efficiency
is achieved as 99.2% when the radiation is 500 W / m2. Tracking
the average efficiency of 97.3% from the peak power. Without
MPPT, the average power output of PV is 67.7% of the maximum
points .. Methods The size of the PV system.
Sizing methods given MPPT PV system performance is discussed.
This system is composed of PV batteries and assumed supplying
2,500 Watt / 48 volt continuously for 24 hours. MPPT tracking
efficiency has 97.3% of the maximum power for the DOD is the
depth of battery discharge. It is assumed that the cycle battery
(charged and discharged) happen one day. DOD designed set of
50%. This means that twice the battery capacity of the energy
required per day. In terms of sunlight is not available, the system
can still meet the load for 2 days. The size of the battery is found
3000 Ampere hours (Ah). This type of cell, the number of
batteries in series and parallel can be selected based on the size
and voltage of the system. Having selected the type of battery,
battery replacement period can be determined. It provides
essential data for economic analysis steps. A conventional
method for using PV size IsiFactor (FF) are presented for
comparison. FF refers to the ratio of maximum power (PMPP) and
propagation of open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current
(ISC). FF is the power matching between the facia and the peak is
expected Since FF is the power matching, FF value was then used
to replace the MPPT tracking efficiency. PV-sized found as the
peak of 24.6 kW, 8.5 kW or larger than using MPPT. Due to the
larger size of the PV
