Abstract

In this paper proposed method of maximum power point tracking using adaptive fuzzy logic control for grid connected photovoltaic system. The system composed of boost converter single-phase inverter connected to utility grid. The maximum power point tracking control is based on adaptive fuzzy logic to control MOSFET switch of boost converter and single phase inverter uses predicted current control to control four IGBTs switch for grid-connected control. Adaptive fuzzy logic controllers provide attractive features such as fast response, good performance and it can also change fuzzy parameter for improving control system. The fuzzy logic predicted current control provide current with sinusoidal waveshape and inphase with voltage. This system can provide energy with low harmonics and high power factor.
