MPPT Using FLC For A PV Powered High Step-Up Boost Converter Using Coupled Inductor

Abstract

The paper proposes a high step up boost converter. The proposed converter has used a coupled inductor with switched capacitors. The capacitors were made to get charged in parallel and were made to get discharged in series by the configuration to achieve high step up voltage gain. And the voltage across the load is maintained constant by using a closed loop control. The converter is being provided by a PV source instead of a fixed DC input voltage. The output of the PV system is then controlled by maximum power point tracking with fuzzy logic control. And the system is then implemented in MATLAB software to verify the proper performance of the converter and its control.
