SOLAR TRACKING USING FUZZY LOGIC Presented By MeghaSrikanth
An Overview • Introduction • Principle of MPPT Control • MPPT techniques • P & O controller • Fuzzy logic of MPPT control • Conclusion
INTRODUCTION • This scheme is capable of following the trajectory of the sun throughout the day on a year-round basis. • Various schemes have been proposed for optimizing the tilt angle and orientation of solar collectors • The actual energy conversion efficiency of PV module is rather low
PRINCIPLE OF MPPT • The photovoltaic module operation depends strongly on the load characteristics • The connection between the source and the load is considered • Furthermore the characteristics of a PV system vary with temperature and insulation
Current-voltage characteristic of a PV module
MPPT TECHNIQUES • Voltage feedback based methods • Current feedback based methods • Power based methods
P & O CONTROLLER • Principle is to provoke perturbation by acting on the PWM duty cycle and observing the effect on the output PV power. • when dp / dv > 0 , the voltage is increased, D (k )= D (k – 1) + C • when dp / dv < 0 , the voltage is decreased, D(k ) = D(k − 1) − C .
Power-voltage characteristic of a PV module
Fuzzy logic of MPPT control • They have the advantage to be robust and relatively simple to design • They do require the complete knowledge of the operation of the PV system by the designer.
Membership functions of (a) error E - (b) change of error CE - (c) duty ratio D
CONCLUSION • Fuzzy controller is faster than the P&O controller in the transitional state • Presents also a much smoother signal with less fluctuations in steady state • It can provide an order more effective than the traditional controllers for the nonlinear systems
