Comparison Between Fuzzy and P&O Control for MPPT for Photovoltaic System Using Boost Converter

Abstract

This paper presents fuzzy control method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) system under varying irradiation and temperature conditions. The fuzzy control method has been compared with perturb and observe (P&O) method as one of the most widely conventional method used in this area. Both techniques have been analyzed and simulated. Fuzzy technique gives better and more reliable control for this application.
