This work presents a comparative study of a step-down converter controlled through the algorithm MPPT Perturb and Observe (P&O) with or without a fuzzy logic controller supplied by a photovoltaic system. This study aimed at increasing the quantity of electric energy taken over from the photovoltaic systems by the load through the DC-DC convertor. To follow up the maximum power point where the transfer is performed from the photovoltaic system to the load at maximum power, the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method was used. Two programs were elaborated in MATLAB-Simulink R2018a to control the buck convertor commanded through the P&O algorithm with or without a fuzzy logic controller. The analysis of the results showed that a higher quantity of energy is transferred from the source to the receptor circuit in the case of the buck convertor controlled through the P&O algorithm with a fuzzy logic controller. The P&O algorithm was implemented on an experimental stand at the Laboratory of Electrical Machinery and Drives of the Engineering Faculty in Bacau, with the help of a program issued in the Arduino IDE programming environment. The analysis of the results showed that for an increase in the power conveyed to the receptor circuit, there will also be an increase in the filling factor of the PWM signal that controls the power transistor in the structure of the DC-DC convertor. The P&O algorithm with a fuzzy logic controller may also be implemented in the DC-DC converters in the structure of the driving systems of electric vehicles. |
