An enhanced control scheme for multifunctional grid connected PV system using fuzzy and predictive direct power control.

This paper presents a combination between a fuzzy logic control (FLC) and a predictive direct power control for multifunctional grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system, to solve the oscillation problem in the DC link voltage of the inverter caused by the fast irradiation changing. The whole system consists of a PV system which interface a DC-AC inverter, a FLC maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm has been adopted to operate the DC-DC converter at the MPP. The predictive control strategy is applied to the DC-AC inverter with FLC in its voltage control loop to improve the power exchange between the grid and the PV system. Simulation results have been verified through MATLAB/Simulink software for the purpose of giving the effectiveness of the suggested control against existed controllers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
