This paper aims to apply an Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller in a DC-link voltage regulator to decrease the power fluctuation for enhancing the performance of the grid-tie inverter for a small-scale rooftop solar Photovoltaic (PV) system. For tracking Maximum Power Point (MPP), a Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm was presented. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers for a small-scale 5 kWp rooftop solar PV system, several time-domain simulation results under a three-phase short-circuit fault that happened at a grid-tie inverter system was systematically performed by employing Matlab/ Simulink toolbox. On the basis of the simulation results, it is obvious that the proposed P&O algorithm for MPP tracking and the designed ANFIS controller for DC-link voltage regulator of the grid-tie inverter shows better performance to reduce overshoot and settling time in transient responses of the studied small-scale 5 kW grid-tie rooftop solar PV inverter under the most severe operating condition.
