This paper presents the proposed model and simulation of a DC to DC converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for a standalone Photovoltaic (PV) System. This research will focus on the developing high performance DC to DC converter with fuzzy logic controller based to extract the maximum power that generated by the PV panel. The system composed of the PV array and DC-DC boost converter with MPPT system. The maximum power point tracking control is based on adaptive fuzzy logic to control ON/OFF time of IGBT switch of DC-DC boost converter. The proposed DC to DC converter is designed by using the Multisim software while the controller programme will be carried out by using the Matlab Simulink software. Pulse width modulation will be generated by the controller to trigger the IGBT gate. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated by the simulation and the result show that our proposed converter can convert more power from generated voltage. By using the fuzzy logic method to track the maximum power of the PV array, it is faster and the voltage is stable.

This paper proposes the implementation of a simple fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for a DC-DC boost converter based on a microcontroller to obtain maximum power from the solar system with the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method. The system includes a solar panel, DC-DC boost converter, the fuzzy logic controller implemented on Arduino Uno for controlling on/off time of MOSFET of the boost converter, voltage divider and optocoupler circuit. This paper presents a fuzzy logic real time code in the Arduino language for ATmega328 microcontroller on the Arduino UNO board. The designed system increases the efficiency of the solar panel based on experimental results.

This paper proposes fuzzy logic controller based seven-level hybrid inverter for photovoltaic systems with sinusoidal pulse width-modulation (SPWM) techniques. Multi-Level Inverter technology have been developed in the area of high-power medium-voltage energy scheme, because of their advantages such as devices of high dv/dt rating, higher switching frequency, unlimited power processing, shape of output waveform and desired level of output voltage, current and frequency adjustment.This topology can be used there by enabling the scheme to reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for high voltage applications. The Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm is also used for extracting maximum power from the PV array connected to each DC link voltage level. The Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm is solved by Perturb and Observer method.It has high performance with low Total Harmonic Distortion and reduced by this control strategy. The proposed system has verified and THD is obtained by using MATLAB/simulink.The result is compared with the hardware prototype working model.

<p><span lang="EN-US">This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic system with reduced number of rules instead of conventional 25 rules to make the system lighter which will improve the tracking speed and reduce the static error, engendering a global performance improvements. in this work the proposed system use the power variation and current variation as inputs to simplify the calculation, the introduced controller is connected to a conventional grid and simulated with MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results shows a promising indication to adopt the introduced controller as an a good alternative  to traditional MPPT system for further practical applications</span></p>
