Abstract

In the present scenario, green energy resources are widely available. Solar photovoltaic (SPV) energy is one of them, especially in northern regions of India. SPV system has nonlinear P–V and I-V characteristics so it becomes difficult to calculate and achieve maximum power at load line characteristics. Nowadays, the major concern of researchers to enhance the overall efficiency of SPV system by tracking maximum possible power. To abstract maximum power from SPV array, various maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods are presented in literature. In the present paper, for achieving maximum power point, Mamdani’s-based constant voltage (CV) MPPT method is used to automatically adjust the reference voltage at various environmental conditions. To calculate the open circuit voltage (Voc), fuzzy logic controller toolbox is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
