Simulation of Maximum Power Point Trackingfor Solar Cells Based on Fuzzy Control

Abstract

Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia having high sunlight intensity in average and advantages to use solar energy. Solar energy, a clean and sustainable energy resource and environment friendly, has been studied and applied in many fields of life.Solar energy can be used directly as a heat source or converted to electricity by solar cells. Although of its advantages, the solar energy depends a lot on sunlight intensity and ambient temperature. Adjustment the solar cells how to work at maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is one of the issues of great interest. This paper presents characteristics of the power output and simulation model of MPPT for solar cells based on fuzzy control
