Abstract


This paper introduced a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based CUK converter for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a photovoltaic(PV) system. The FLC projected that the Unsymmetrical membership function gives faster response than the symmetrically distributed membership functions. The fuzzy logic controller for the CUK MPPT scheme shows smooth change of current and no change (Constant) of Voltage in variable-load, represented in little steady state error and overshoot. As the inverter is used in a PV system, Fuzzy logic controller is employed forgetting sinusoidal wave output, higher dynamic performance under fast varying atmospheric conditions and reduced total harmonic distortion. The proposed scheme guarantee optimal use of photovoltaic (PV) array and proves its effectiveness invariable load conditions, at the load (Inverter) side. The performance of the converter is tested in MATLAB/Simulink.
