Abstract
In this paper, a fuzzy logic control (FLC) idea is used to control the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic system by incremental conductance method. MPPT technology, various diode model, effect of variation of solar irradiance and cell temperature, performances Incremental Conductance method is a cheap and easy algorithm to implement for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This method is based on the advantage of an Incremental Conductance of a PV array to determine an optimum operating current for the maximum output power. This work proposes on the Investigation of Incremental Conductance method based Maximum Power Point tracking for photovoltaic system, to have the advantage of low frequency switching and proposes a simple algorithm for Photovoltaic system.
