Abstract

Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems play an important role in reducing emissions resulting from conventional fossil-fuel-based power plants. However, in order to effectively integrated PV systems into the power system, many challenges regarding these renewable resources such as extracting maximum power under various conditions should be solved. This paper suggests an enhanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and a modified bat algorithm (MBA) to fine-tune the parameters of the controller. The FLC is greatly affected by rule base and membership functions (MFs). The fine-tuning of such parameters cannot be appropriate when accurate information regarding the system is not available. To overcome the above-mentioned challenges, the MBA algorithm is utilized to optimize the scaling factors of MFs. Simulation results confirm that the suggested MBA-FLC method can effectively cope with the global maxima under different weather circumstances with high efficiency, faster tracking and stable output.
