MODELING AND SIMULATION OF PV CONNECTED WITH STEP-UP CONVERTER BASED ON ANFIS MPPT CONTROLLER

Abstract

Renewable energy are a key and powerful alternative sources widely used having many advantages comparing to the conventional power generation. Most known alternative power generation sources are solar, wind geothermal, hydro, and biomass. Therefore energy generated naturally from the sunlight as is it called solar energy in particular has been used now for years as an optional way to power multiple devices. However the energy generated depends proportionally on the amount of the radiation that varies constantly during the day because of the weather which influence negatively in voltage stability. Using a converter such as boost converter is an ideal option to step-up the power so that the usage requirement can be met. Hence ANFIS based MPPT controller is designed to control the duty cycle of the generated pulses and track the maximum power generated by the entire system plant.
