Abstract

Abstract : With the maturation of nonlinear systems, considerable endeavors have been made to provide valid and high-speed controllers to supervise superior and more complex systems. Artificial intelligence has been remembered as the head topic among designers in the last decade. One of the popular control techniques is fuzzy logic, which is known to provide a controller that simulates the behavior of an expert operator. On the other hand, due to the necessity of change in human energy sources and the popularity of solar energy, attention to the greatest utilization of this category of green resources has significantly increased. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar systems is a headed topic, with innovative methods being presented every day despite numerous articles. However, the less discussed topic is the choice of a fuzzy inference system. In this article, the two classes of Mamdani and Sugeno are discussed to introduce the best controller for extracting more power from a solar system by implementing both types and gaining an understanding of their differences. In addition, the influence of the number of input membership functions on the controller performance is investigated. Therefore, two different input membership functions are given to each fuzzy system model. It should be noted that fuzzy system setup has been done by genetic algorithm to respond to the mortal desire to automate various processes, which is a subset of artificial intelligence. Accordingly, four different fuzzy systems have been designed and implemented on a solar system. The results were tested and summarized in various radiations in MATLAB Simulink.
