Description
Summary:This paper presents a new control scheme for a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system based on a fuzzy-logic (FLC). The proposed control system provides good tracking for the optimal reference voltage, at which the maximum power generation is obtained. The photovoltaic system is connected to a load through a DC/DC boost converter. The FLC controller provides the appropriate duty cycle (D) to the DC/DC converter in order to get the maximum power from the PV system. A method for the stability analysis of the closed-loop system is also proposed. The stability analysis is based on the Lyapunov methods and is a semi-qualitative analysis because there is no closed loop system model available for the analytical analysis. Both simulation results and experimental tests on a real PV system show that the FLC provides good tracking for the maximum power point (MPP).Finally, the performance of the FLC on a real PV system consisting of a commercial solar panels Atersa model A55 is analyzed. To perform the experimental tests the proposed control strategy has been implemented on the dSPACE digital signal processor model DS1104. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed FLC control scheme over a commercial photovoltaic system.
