Neural network and fuzzy logic to track maximum power point in photovoltaic system

Abstract

The output characteristics of photovoltaic systems are nonlinear and change with variations of temperature and irradiation, so we need a controller named maximum power point tracker MPPT to extract the maximum power at the terminal of photovoltaic generator. This study explores two intelligent controller based on a neural networks and fuzzy logic to track this point. These both controllers have prove, by their results, a good tracking of the MPPT compare with the other methods which are proposed up to now.
