Abstract� This paper presents the development of maxi mum power point tracking (MPPT) using a fuzzy logic con troller (FLC). By applying the synthetic fuzzy inference al go rithm, the relationship between input and output of FLC can be effectively stored in a memory-limited lookup table (LUT).As a consequence, the controller can be efficiently imple mented on a low-cost 16F872 RlSC microcontroller. A practi cal system found in a transportation industry, particularly II solar-powered Jight-nasher (SPLF) with built in MPPT using FLC, is developed. Simulations with practical parameters show that our proposed MPPT using FLC implemented by LVT outperforms the conventional MPPT controller in terms of tracking speed. Furthermore, experimental results are shown to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed tech nique.
