Abstract

This paper presents fuzzy control method (Mamdani’s fuzzy inference 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. The different techniques have been analyzed and simulated. Fuzzy technique gives better and more reliable control for this application.
