Abstract:
In this paper FLC based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is proposed to an Interleaved Boost Converter for a Standalone PV system. This topology used to raise the efficiency of the PV power conditioning system. It minimizes switching losses and overall efficiency is increased when compared with the conventional Boost converter. FLC based Maximum power point tracking gives accurate tracking of operating points and fast transient response despite fluctuating atmospheric conditions. The evaluation of the performance has been carried out by using Matlab/Simulink.
