A new fuzzy maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems is
proposed. Fuzzy controller input parameters dI dP , ) dI dP ( D and variation of duty cycle
( DC D ) are used to generate the optimal MPPT converter duty cycle, such that solar panel
maximum power is generated under different operating conditions. A photovoltaic system
including a solar panel, a fuzzy MPP tracker and a resistive load is designed, simulated and
constructed. The fuzzy MPP tracker includes a buck dc/dc converter, fuzzy controller and
interfacing circuits. Theoretical and experimental results are used to indicate the advantages
and limitations of the proposed technique.
