Abstract: The power demand has been increasing day by day due to population growth, new industrial development, future needs, etc. Meeting power demand is one of the challenging factors for fossil fuel-based power generation alone as well as the environmental issue of carbon footprint. Consequently, there is a need to concentrate on alternate energy sources to meet the power demand. Here we have discussed the photovoltaic (PV) cell operation under various weather conditions are analyzed. And based on the performance, The MPPT controller is developed by using fuzzy logic control. The proposed system has been modeled in a MATLAB environment, and the system performance has been analyzed. Finally, the simulation results are evaluated and compared with conventional methods for proving the effectiveness of the proposed system.
