Comparative Study of Control Algorithms Through Different Converters to Improve the Performance of a Solar Panel

Abstract

This article aims at comparing two controls to follow the maximum power point, making use of DC-DC converters for PV uses. All transformers operate continuously. To fulfil maximum power, we will exploit two MPPT controls: a traditional perturb -observe 'P&O' and a smart onethe fuzzy logic 'FL'. The goal of this article is two-fold: to scrutinize the efficiency of DC-DC transformers (Boost, Buck, Cuk and SEPIC), and to assess the outcomes of the simulation. For the construction of models and simulations, the Matlab / Simulink environment is employed.
