A novel design and analysis of hybrid fuzzy logic MPPT controller for solar PV system under partial shading...

Renewable energy resources are more useful when associated with the thermal power generation network because of their high accessibility in the environment, good system response, easy manufacturing, plus high scalable. So, the present research is going on solar power to reduce consumer grid dependency. The running of the PV network is quite easier, plus less human sources are involved. However, the solar modules' power generation is nonlinear fashion. So, the collection of peak power from the sunlight-dependent systems is a highly challenging task. In this article, a Modified Differential Step Grey Wolf Optimization with Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Controller (MDSGWO with FLC) is developed for collecting the maximum power from renewable energy resources under diverse Partial Shading Conditions (PSCs). The introduced method comprehensive analysis has been done along with the other recently existing MPPT methods in terms of convergence speed, MPP tracking accuracy, operating efficiency of the introduced method, functioning duty value of the DC-DC boost power converter, dependence of MPPT on sunlight system, total number of sensing devices are needed, plus peak power extraction from the proposed system. Here, the sunlight power generation cost is more to limit this issue, a power converter is selected in the second objective to develop the voltage source capability of the PV network. The overall PV-interfaced power converter network is examined by utilizing the MATLAB environment.
