Optimizing Operation of Photovoltaic System Using Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic

It is well known that photovoltaic (PV) cells are an attractive source of energy. Abundant and ubiquitous, this source is one of the important renewable energy sources that have been increasing worldwide year by year. However, in the V-P characteristic curve of GPV, there is a maximum point called the maximum power point (MPP) which depends closely on the variation of atmospheric conditions and the rotation of the earth. In fact, such characteristics outputs are nonlinear and change with variations of temperature and irradiation, so we need a controller named maximum power point tracker MPPT to extract the maximum power at the terminals of photovoltaic generator. In this context, the authors propose here to study the modeling of a photovoltaic system and to find an appropriate method for optimizing the operation of the PV generator using two intelligent controllers respectively to track this point. The first one is based on artificial neural networks and the second on fuzzy logic. After the conception and the integration of each controller in the global process, the performances are examined and compared through a series of simulation. These two controller have prove by their results good tracking of the MPPT compare with the other method which are proposed up to now

Optimizing the operation of a photovoltaic generator by a genetically tuned fuzzy controller

This paper presents design and application of advanced control scheme which integrates fuzzy logic concepts and genetic algorithms to track the maximum power point in photovoltaic system. The parameters of adopted fuzzy logic controller are optimized using genetic algorithm with innovative tuning procedures. The synthesized genetic algorithm which optimizes fuzzy logic controller is implemented and tested to achieve a precise control of the maximum power point response of the photovoltaic generator. The performance of the adopted control strategy is examined through a series of simulation experiments which prove good tracking properties and fast response to changes of different meteorological conditions such as isolation or temperature
