Duty Cycle Modulation and Fuzzy Controller of a Chopper Extracting the Maximum Power Point of a Solar Panel

Abstract


In this article, we propose a new strategy for finding the maximum power point (MPP), based on the fuzzy controller and the duty cycle modulator (DCM). The objectives of this strategy are, on the one hand, to improve the speed of convergence towards the MPP, and on the other hand, to reduce the oscillations around this point. This strategy is later tested on the Matlab/Simulink environment on a 250kW solar power plant and compared to the Fuzzy-PWM strategy. The test results show that the Fuzzy-DCM strategy improves the convergence speed by 2,013 times that of the Fuzzy-PWM strategy. In addition, it also reduces the oscillations around the MPP by 2.36 times lower than the Fuzzy-PWM strategy.


Keywords
