Abstract— The main point of this paper is to take bring out
the maximum power for ever-increasing the efficiency of solar
photovoltaic (PV) under unstable weather conditions. It is a
method of hybrid small scale solar energy conversion system
that use an adaptive neural fuzzy interface system (ANFIS). The
conversion of solar energy, mostly depends on the irradiation
and temperature. ANFIS is used to extract maximum feasible
power under unstable solar irradiance and temperature by
generating duty cycle through pulse width modulation (PWM).
Duty cycle triggers the gate of DC-DC boost converter. This
proposed system has been optimized by using
MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results of the
MPPT controller show that very effective and efficient than
other ordinary conventional systems such as without MPPT
system.
Keywords— Adaptive neural fuzzy interface system (ANFIS);
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system; DC to DC
Boost converter; Solar energy.
I. INTRODUCTION
Energy plays a vital role for our social life and economy
[1]. Because of inanition of fossil fuel reserves, greenhouse
effect, environmental degradation and high cost, the
consumption of renewable energy sources is increasing day
by day for electric power generation [1]. In order to meet up
the ever rising energy demand and overcome above problem,
it is necessary on the way to the renewable energy sources
such as wind, solar, tidal, sea wave, geothermal and hydro
energy for maximum potential [2]. Al of them, solar energy is
considered more reliable for Bangladesh mainly remote area
[2]. This energy source is daily available, and
environmentally friendly than other renewable source.
Bangladesh lies in the sunny regions of the world. The
majority of the parts of Bangladesh receive 4–7 kWh of solar
radiation per square meter per day. About 250–300 sunny day
occurs in a year, which can mitigate the total load demand of
a family in that’s country [3]. On the other hand, solar energy
systems usually suffer from their low efficiency. In order to
rise above these drawbacks, MPPT techniques is a way to
optimize greater efficiency for maximum power of PV panel.
MPPT is a real-time control system that applied to the PV
power converter in order to bring out the maximum possible
power from the PV panel [4]. In this paper MPPT has been
designed by artificial intelligence based on ANFIS controller.
Artificial intelligence systems is a process which can take
decision like a human brain by adjusting themselves. The
situations and making correct decisions take automatically for
future similar conditions [5]. An adaptive neural fuzzy
inference system (ANFIS) is a type of artificial intelligence
system that is based on Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy interface
system. It is a combination both neural networks and fuzzy
logic ideology [5]. Its inference system corresponds to a
fuzzy set of IF-THEN rules based on training data that have
learning ability to approximate nonlinear functions [6]. For
using a hybrid learning procedure, ANFIS can build an input-
output mapping based on both human knowledge and
predetermined input-output data pairs which is more efficient
and optimal way [6]. In this paper, designing and
implementation of ANFIS based MPPT scheme which is
interfaced with boost converter in Matlab/Simulink.
II. METHODOLOGY
A. PV model
The system consists of PV module, a DC-DC boost
converter, a control unit and load. Mainly, PV module
depends on the solar irradiance and temperature as well as
atmospheric condition. PV power is transferred to the load
through boost converter. Duty cycle to trigger the gate of the
MOSFET switch is continuously adjusted to track the
maximum power point. ANFIS is used as the control scheme
which takes irradiance and temperature as input from change
of PV power and voltage ratio. ANFIS gives duty ratio as
output for maintaining the on and off time of the MOSFET
switch through PWM shown in Fig. 1.
