In this study, a fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) based maximum power point tracking strategy has been applied for photovoltaic (PV) system. The key idea of the proposed technique is to combine the performances of the fuzzy logic and the sliding mode control in order to improve the generated power for a given set of climatic conditions. Different from traditional sliding mode control, the developed FSMC integrates two parts. The first part uses a fuzzy logic controller with two inputs and 25 rules as an equivalent controller while the second part is designed for an online adjusting of the switching controller’s gain using a fuzzy tuner with one input and one output. Simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed approach achieving maximum power point. The fuzzy sliding mode (FSM) controller takes less time to track the maximum power point, reduced the oscillation around the operating point and also removed the chattering phenomena that could lead to decrease the efficiency of the photovoltaic system.

A Study of Shading Effect on Photovoltaic Modules with Proposed P&O Checking ...Yayah Zakaria
Sun irradiation levels and associated temperature changes are the main factors that influence the conversion of solar energy into electricity. Most energy is produced during a hot sunny day as the sun irradiation is at the maximum level and uniform throughout the solar photovoltaic (PV). However, most solar PV were frequently get shadowed, completely or partially, by the neighbouring buildings, trees and passing clouds. Consequently, the solar PV has lower voltage and current output, hence,
multiple maximum power points (MPP) are existed on the PV curve, which could cause confusion to the conventional Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) to track the true MPP for the PV system. Thus, it is important to examine the impacts of partial shading on the solar PV in order to extract the maximum possible power. This paper presents a MATLAB-based modelling for simulation and experimental setup to study the I-V and P-V characteristics of a solar module under a non-uniform irradiation due to partial shading condition (PSC). Furthermore, this study is also proposed an effective method (a variable step size of P&O with checking algorithm) that is low cost and higher tracking efficiency. Thus, this study is essential in improving and evaluating any new MPPT algorithm under the PSC.

Abstract PV Module Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is a photovoltaic system that uses the photovoltaic array as a source of electrical power supply. Every photovoltaic (PV) array has an optimum operating point, called the maximum power point, which varies depending on cell temperature, the insulation level and array voltage. The function of MPPT is needed to operate the PV array at its maximum power point. The design of a Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) is proposed utilizing a cuk converter topology. Solar panel voltage and current are continuously monitored by a MPPT, and the duty cycle of the cuk converter continuously adjusted to extract maximum power. The design consists of a PV array, DC-DC cuk converter and many such algorithms have been proposed. However, one particular algorithm, the Incremental Conductance method, claimed by many in the literature to be inferior to others, continues to be by far the most widely used method in commercial PV MPPT’s. The general model was implemented on Mat lab, and accepts irradiance and temperature as variable parameters and outputs the I-V characteristic and P-V characteristic Index Terms: PV system; Maximum power point tracking (MPPT); Incremental conductance (Inccond); digital signal processor (dsp)

This document summarizes an experimental test of a photovoltaic panel system using two different maximum power point tracking techniques - SLG-Backstepping and P&O-Backstepping. The SLG-Backstepping technique uses an SLG algorithm to identify the global maximum power point under partial shading conditions, and a backstepping controller to track the optimal voltage trajectory. The experimental results show that the SLG-Backstepping technique can detect partial shading and track the global maximum power point more effectively than P&O-Backstepping. It also tracks the maximum power point faster, in approximately 0.7 seconds compared to 1.5 seconds for P&O-Backstepping under uniform conditions

This paper presents a microgrid consisting of different distributed generation (DG) units
that are connected to the distribution grid. An energy-management algorithm is implemented to
coordinate the operations of the different DG units in the microgrid for grid-connected and islanded
operations. The proposed microgrid consists of a photovoltaic (PV) array which functions as the
primary generation unit of the microgrid and a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell to supplement the
variability in the power generated by the PV array. A lithium-ion storage battery is incorporated into
the microgrid to mitigate peak demands during grid-connected operation and to compensate for any
shortage in the generated power during islanded operation. The control design for the DG inverters
employs a new model predictive control algorithm which enables faster computational time for large
power systems by optimizing the steady-state and the transient control problems separately. The design
concept is verified through various test scenarios to demonstrate the operational capability of the
proposed microgrid, and the obtained results are discussed.

Abstract PV Module Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is a photovoltaic system that uses the photovoltaic array as a source of electrical power supply. Every photovoltaic (PV) array has an optimum operating point, called the maximum power point, which varies depending on cell temperature, the insulation level and array voltage. The function of MPPT is needed to operate the PV array at its maximum power point. The design of a Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) is proposed utilizing a cuk converter topology. Solar panel voltage and current are continuously monitored by a MPPT, and the duty cycle of the cuk converter continuously adjusted to extract maximum power. The design consists of a PV array, DC-DC cuk converter and many such algorithms have been proposed. However, one particular algorithm, the Incremental Conductance method, claimed by many in the literature to be inferior to others, continues to be by far the most widely used method in commercial PV MPPT’s. The general model was implemented on Mat lab, and accepts irradiance and temperature as variable parameters and outputs the I-V characteristic and P-V characteristic Index Terms: PV system; Maximum power point tracking (MPPT); Incremental conductance (Inccond); digital signal processor (dsp)

Enhancing photovoltaic system maximum power point tracking with fuzzy logic-b...IJECEIAES
Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
This paper describes the Grid connected solar photovoltaique system using DC-DC boost converter and the DC/AC inverter (VSC) to supplies electric power to the utility grid. The model contains a representation of the main components of the system that are two solar arrays of 100 kW, boost converter and the grid side inverter. The paper starts with a system description, in this part we have given a definition and a short overview of every component used in this system and they are taken separately. The PV cell model is easy, accurate, and takes external temperature and solar radiation into consideration. It also proposes a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The algorithm incorporated in a DC/DC converter is used to track the maximum power of PV cell. Finally, the DC/AC inverter (VSC) of three- level is used to regulate the ouput voltage of DC/DC converter and connects the PV cell to the grid. Simulation results show how a solar radiation’s change can affect the power output of any PV system, also they show the control performance and dynamic behavior of the grid connected photovoltaic system.
The power supplied by photovoltaic DC–DC converter is affected by two factors, sun irradiance and temperature. Therefore, to improve the performance of the PV system; a mechanism to track the maximum power point (MPP) is required. Conventional maximum power point tracking approaches, such as observation and perturbation technique present some difficulties in identifying the true MPP. Therefore, intelligent systems including fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are introduced for the maximum power point tracking system (MPPT). In this paper, we present a comparative study of the PV standalone system which is controlled by three techniques. The first one is conventional based on the observation and perturbation technique, the other are intelligent based on fuzzy logic according Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno models. The investigations show that the fuzzy logic controllers provide the best results and Takagi-Sugeno model presents the lower overshoot value.

Integral sliding-mode controller for maximum power point tracking in the grid...IJECEIAES
The output power generated in the photovoltaic modules depends both on the solar radiation and the temperature of the solar cells. To maximize the efficiency of the system, it is required to monitor the maximum power point of the photovoltaic system. For this purpose, monitoring the maximum power point (MPPT) of photovoltaic systems should be as quick and accurately as possible for increasing energy production, which ultimately increases the cost-efficiency of the photovoltaic system. This paper proposes a new approach for MPPT) using the concept of the integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) to ensure fast and precise monitoring of the peak power. The performance of the ISMC is significantly influenced by the choice of the sliding surface. To assess the reliability ISMC control, the results have been compared with those of a PI controller. The results obtained are used to evaluate the performance of the ISMC strategy under different climatic conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed solution is confirmed using simulations in PSIM tools and experimental results were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Inter-Area Oscillation Damping using an STATCOM Based Hybrid Shunt Compensati...IJPEDS-IAES
FACTS devices are one of the latest technologies which have been used to
improve power system dynamic and stability during recent years. However,
widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost
and reliability concerns. In this paper an economical phase imbalanced shunt
reactive compensation concept has been introduced and its ability for power
system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are
investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive
compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt
capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power
system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding
a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control
loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies
are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller
and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are
added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to
damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly,
be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase
STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus
six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to
demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system
dynamic enhancement.

Modified SVPWM Algorithm for 3-Level Inverter Fed DTC Induction Motor DriveIJPEDS-IAES
In this paper, a modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM)
algorithm is developed for 3-level inverter fed direct torque controlled
induction motor drive (DTC-IMD). MSVPWM algorithm simplifies
conventional space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm for
multilevel inverter (MLI), whose complexity lies in sector/subsector/subsubsector
identification; which will commensurate with number of levels. In
the proposed algorithm sectors are identified as in two level inverter
and subsectors/sub-subsectors are identified by shifting the original reference
vector to sector 1 (S1). This is valid due to the fact that a three level space
vector plane is a composition of six two level space planes, and are
symmetrical with reference to six pivot states. Switching state/sequence
selection is also very important while dealing with SVPWM strategy for
MLI. In the proposed algorithm out of 27 available switching states apt
switching state is selected based on sector and subsector number, such that
voltage ripple is considerably less. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is
tested on a three level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter fed DTC-IMD.
The performance of the MSVPWM algorithm is analyzed by comparing no
load stator current ripple of the three level DTC-IMD with two level
DTC-IMD. Significant reduction in steady state torque and flux ripple is
observed. Hence, reduced acoustic noise is a distinctive facet of the proposed
method.

In recent years, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have been dramatically

simple and reliable structure, but also have low cost production process.
However, discrete torque production of SRM along with intensive magnetic
saturation in stator and rotor cores are the major drawbacks of utilizing in
variety of industrial applications and also causes the inappropriate torque

the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the
performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions,
a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze

In this paper an extensive comparative study is carried out between PI

Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy establishes near sinusoidal
armature phase currents and comparatively less torque ripples without
sacrificing torque/weight ratio. In this closed loop model of PMSM drive, the
information about reference speed is provided to a speed controller, to ensure
that actual drive speed tracks the reference speed with ideally zero steady

into two loops, inner loop current and outer loop speed. By taking the
different combinations of two classical controllers (PI & PID) related with
two loop control structure, different approximations are carried out. Hence a
typical comparative study is introduced to familiar with the different
performance indices of the system corresponding to time domain and
frequency domain specifications. Therefore overall performance of closed

This paper introduces a sensorless-speed-controlled PMSM motor fed by a
four-leg inverter in case of a single phase open circuit fault regardless in
which phase is the fault. To minimize the system performance degradation
due to a single phase open circuit fault, a fault tolerant control strategy that
includes taking appropriate actions to control the two remaining healthy

saliency is done through measuring the dynamic current responses of the
healthy phases of the PMSM motor due the IGBT switching actions using the
fundamental PWM method without introducing any modification to the
operation of the fourth leg of the inverter. Simulation results are provided to
verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for sensorless controlling of

Improved Stator Flux Estimation for Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor ...IJPEDS-IAES
Stator flux estimation using voltage model is basically the integration of the
induced stator back electromotive force (emf) signal. In practical
implementation the pure integration is replaced by a low pass filter to avoid
the DC drift and saturation problems at the integrator output because of the
initial condition error and the inevitable DC components in the back emf
signal. However, the low pass filter introduces errors in the estimated stator
flux which are significant at frequencies near or lower than the cutoff
frequency. Also the DC components in the back emf signal are amplified at
the low pass filter output by a factor equals to . Therefore, different
integration algorithms have been proposed to improve the stator flux
estimation at steady state and transient conditions. In this paper a new
algorithm for stator flux estimation is proposed for direct torque control
(DTC) of induction motor drives. The proposed algorithm is composed of a
second order high pass filter and an integrator which can effectively
eliminates the effect of the error initial condition and the DC components.
The amplitude and phase errors compensation algorithm is selected such that
the steady state frequency response amplitude and phase angle are equivalent
to that of the pure integrator and the multiplication and division by stator
frequency are avoided. Also the cutoff frequency selection is improved; even
small value can filter out the DC components in the back emf signal. The
simulation results show the improved performance of the induction motor
direct torque control drive with the proposed stator flux estimation algorithm.
The simulation results are verified by the experimental results.

minimization is achieved by controlling the rate of increasing voltage
and frequency to start induction motor under certain load torque within a
definite starting time. Optimal voltage and frequency are obtained by particle
swarm optimization (PSO) tool according to load torque. Then, outputs of the
PSO are used to design a neuro-fuzzy controller to control the output voltage
and frequency of the inverter during starting for each load torque. The
starting characteristics using proposed method are compared to that of direct
on line and V/F methods. A complete model of the system is developed using

and π filter is presented. The use of the coupled inductor reduces the high
leakage inductance which is present in a transformer enabled converter.
The output ripples in the converter is reduced by providing a π filter.

output voltage. The voltage multiplier improves the output voltage gain.
The main advantage of this system is more voltage gain when compared with
the transformer eneabled circuit and the overall efficiency of the system is
improved. The circuit is simple to control. As a final point of this research,
the simulation and the hardware investigational results are presented to
demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed converter.
IRAMY Inverter Control for Solar Electric VehicleIJPEDS-IAES
Solar Electric Vehicles (SEV) are considered the future vehicles to solve the issues of air pollution, global warming, and the rapid decreases of the petroleum resources facing the current transportation technology. However, SEV are still facing important technical obstacles to overcome. They include batteries energy storage capacity, charging times, efficiency of the solar panels and electrical propulsion systems. Solving any of those problems and electric vehicles will compete-complement the internal combustion engines vehicles. In the present work, we propose an electrical propulsion system based on three phase induction motor in order to obtain the desired speed and torque with less power loss. Because of the need to lightweight nature, small volume, low cost, less maintenance and high efficiency system, a three phase squirrel cage induction motor (IM) is selected in the electrical propulsion system. The IM is fed from three phase inverter operated by a constant V/F control method and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) algorithm. The proposed control strategy has been implemented on the texas instruments TM320F2812 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to generate SVPWM signal needed to trigger the gates of IGBT based inverter. The inverter used in this work is a three phase inverter IRAMY20UP60B type. The experimental results show the ability of the proposed control strategy to generate a three-phase sine wave signal with desired frequency. The proposed control strategy is experimented on a locally manufactured EV prototype. The results show that the EV prototype can be propelled to speed up to 60km/h under different road conditions.

This paper discusses the Power Factor Correction (PFC) for single phase AC-DC Buck-Boost Converter (BBC) operated in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) using inductor average current mode control. The proposed control technique employs Proportional-Integral (PI) controller in the outer voltage loop and the Inductor Average Current Mode Control (IACMC) in the inner current loop for PFC BBC. The IACMC has advantages such as robustness when there are large variations in line voltage and output load. The PI controller is developed by using state space average model of BBC. The simulation of the proposed system with its control circuit is implemented in MatLab/Simulink. The simulation results show a nearly unity power factor can be attained and there is almost no change in power factor when the line frequency is at various ranges. Experimental results are provided to show its validity and feasibility.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

technique, the fuzzy logic control is widely used to track the MPP. It has an excellent performances and an
immunity to disturbances. But, the adjustment and setup of the FLC with a big numbers of rules lead to a big
computing time and using big memory which remain the accuracy/speed trade-off inevitable. In this study, a
fuzzy sliding mode controller is used to achieve the maximum power point of the photovoltaic system and to
overcome the drawbacks of the classical methods. The designed approach integrates two parts. The first part
employs a fuzzy controller with 25 rules to approach the equivalent control of SMC while the second part
uses a fuzzy controller with one input and one output to approximate an optimal value of switching
controller’s gain of SMC. So a FSM controller is constructed and tested under different conditions using
Matlab/Simulink software. The proposed controller is compared to the P&O, SM and FLC techniques in
order to highlight its performances. The results show that the proposed controller exhibits good performances
in terms of convergence, time response and precision. The proposed technique has also proved efficient
ability to attenuate chattering compared to other methods.
This paper has been organized as follows. Section 2 presents a brief introduction of photovoltaic
system modelling. In section 3 mostly referred existing MPPT approaches are presented. The structure of the
fuzzy sliding mode controller is described in detail in section 4. Section 5 presents the simulation results.
Finally, a conclusion is given in section 6.
2. PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM MODELLING
As shown in Figure 1, the proposed photovoltaic generation system scheme contains a PV module,
resistive load and DC-DC boost converter.
Figure 1. Photovoltaic system scheme [8]
2.1. Modelling and Characteristics of PV Module
A PV cell consists of semiconductor materials that convert solar insolation into electric energy. The
equivalent circuit model of PV cell consists of a single diode connected in parallel with a light generated
current source. A PV panel includes parallel modules each one composed of PV cell serial connected.
The current-voltage characteristics of a PV generator are given by the following equation:
, * ( )+ - ( ) (1)
where and are the PV generator output voltage and current, is the photo-current, and are the
number of the parallel and series cell; and are the solar cell shunt and series resistances, respectively;
is the reverse saturation current, k is the Boltzmann’s constant (1.38*10-23J/K), A is the P-N junction
ideality factor, q is the charge of an electron (1.6*10-19C) and T is the PV generator temperature.
The PV cell photo-current depends on solar irradiation and temperature as stated in the following.

From Figure 3 and 4, it is clearly observed that the PV generator presents a nonlinear behaviour
which depends on solar irradiation and temperature. We note that the output PV power increases with solar
irradiation and that the open circuit voltage increases slightly. On contrary, increase in temperature is
accomplished by a decrease in the output power of PV panel. The P-V curves show also that the maximum
power point of PV module varies. So a control system is needed to track this point in order to use the PV
system more efficiently as an electric power generator.

3. MPPT METHODS
3.1. Perturb and Observe MPPT Method
Among all the MPPT techniques, the perturb and observe (P&O) strategy is widely used in practice
because of its ease of implementation. This method is based on the perturbation of the photovoltaic system by
the increase or decrease of the duty cycle, then observing the effect on the output power of PV generator.If
the output power is increased due to the perturbation, this means that the operating point has moved toward
the maximum power and, therefore, the following perturbation will be made in the same direction. But if the
output power decreases, the new perturbation is made in the opposite direction. The major drawbacks of this
strategy are deviation from the maximum power point during rapidly changing weather conditions.
3.2. Fuzzy Logic Based MPPT
Fuzzy logic controllers have been very successfully applied to many industrial applications over the
past few decades [11]. The application of human thinking and natural language in FLC, made it to use in
almost all sectors of science and industry [12]. Fuzzy logic-based MPPT tracker have exposed very excellent
performances under changing irradiation and temperature conditions without any knowledge of PV generator
model. It requires good design to select appropriate fuzzification, inference mechanism, rule base, and
defuzzification processes [13]. The inputs of fuzzy controller are error and its variations; the output is the
duty ratio of DC-DC converter or its variation. The fuzzy controller introduced in many researches uses the
ratio dPpv/dVpv and its variation ∆(dPpv/dVpv) as inputs and it considers the duty cycle as output.The inputs
variables are defines as follow:

(6)
The fuzzy logic controller can be reasonably implemented by using fuzzification, inference rules,
defuzzification. As shown in Figure 6, scaling factors k1, k2 and k3 are introduced to provide normalized
input and output signals for this controller.

3.3. Sliding Mode Based MPPT
Sliding mode control (SMC) is one of the powerful nonlinear control methods. The SMC based
MPPT controller provides control of DC-DC converter which achieves the MPP during changing weather
conditions. The MPP tracking speed is faster with the increase in switching but voltage output and power
output oscillations increases. The performances of the SMC based MPPT is high as compared to other
classical techniques [2]. SMC is based on the implementation of a control equation, which forces the system
variables to stay on a selected surface, called sliding surface.
4. PROPOSED FUZZY SLIDING MODE BASED MPPT CONTROLLER
A fuzzy sliding mode controller is designed for a stand-alone photovoltaic system. The control aims
of the proposed control law are to track the maximum power point of PV system, minimize oscillations
around MPP and also reduce the chattering phenomena which lead to losses power. The proposed control
strategy consists of two parts as illustrated in Figure 7. The first part is based on fuzzy controller which work
as an equivalent control to maintain the state on the sliding surface s(x)=0. The second part is a nonlinear
controller used to stabilize the control. The combined sliding mode and fuzzy logic control term is given by
equation (7).

4.1. Fuzzy Logic Controller Design
In this study the inputs of the proposed fuzzy logic controller are error (e) and change error (ce)
while the output of this controller is duty cycle (d). It known that the performance of the fuzzy controller will
be affected by the shape of membership functions (MFs), so triangular MFs are adopted to reduce the
computation complexity and also to facilate the implementation of the proposed controller on real circuit.
The variables inputs and output are divided into five fuzzy subsets: Negative Big (NB), Negative Small (NS),
Zero (ZE), Positive Small (PS), and Positive Big (PB).

4.2. Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller Design
The fuzzy sliding mode control is applied to assure the optimal operation of PV system under
changing solar conditions and load. In the present study a fuzzy sliding mode controller has been designed to
provide a smooth control action to stabilise the system responses during large disturbances. Usually, the
chattering amplitude of the sliding mode controller depends on the switching gain K. The chattering could be
reduced by tuning k adaptively [15]. So the proposed controller based on a fuzzy parameter tuner that
supervises and modifies the gain K of the sliding mode controller. Replace K by Kfzz in equation 8 and the
following equation can be obtained.
(9)
where sat is the saturation function [16], given by:
{
| |
(10)
With ɛ is the boundary layer thickness, sgn is the sign function and Kfzz switching gain is estimated
by fuzzy inference mechanism to provide an insensitivity to disturbance change and also to compensate the
fuzzy approximation errors. The fuzzy gain K tuner has been constructed with one input (S: sliding surface)
and one output (Kfzz). Triangular membership functions with five fuzzy sets have been adopted for the input
and output variables. The structure of the fuzzy gain k tuner is given in figure 9. The gain K must be larger
when it’s farther to the sliding surface and smaller when it is near to the sliding surface. Based on this fact,
the following rules for the fuzzy gain K tuner can be developed:
a. If error is NB then K is NB
b. If error is NS then K is NS
c. If error is ZE then K is ZE
d. If error is PS then K is PS
e. If error is PB then K is PB

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
To test the dynamic behaviour of the selected PV system, four MPPT techniques based on P&O, on
fuzzy logic, on sliding mode and on the proposed controller were simulated, evaluated, and compared using
Matlab/Simulink software, taking into consideration the variation in solar irradiation, temperature and load.
The proposed PV generator was coupled to boost dc-dc converter to design a unit PV system. The selected
PV generator in this work is a Kyocera KD135GX-LP panel that produces 135w at 1000w/m² and its
parameters are presented in Table 1. The parameters of the boost converter are chosen as f=10khz,
Cin=1000µF, Cout=1000µF, L=300mH. In each of the following figures, different levels of irradiation,
temperature or load are presented for comparison in order to validate the robustness of the proposed
controller. Figure 10 shows the variation of the PV output power and voltage with step irradiation input
(1000 to 600w/m² respectively 600 to 1000w/m²). In this case, the temperature is constant and equal to 25°C
while the load is equal to 20Ω.

Figure 12. PV panel output power and voltage under varying load conditions
The results show that all techniques introduced here are able to track the MPP with different time
but we note that the system with the FSMC MPPT reaches steady state of both irradiance steps much faster
compared to the other tracking strategies while the P&O method is slow under rapidly irradiation changing.
We note also here that the proposed FSMC provides quickly moving of the operating point toward the MPP
which reduce the power losses due to search process. Figures 11 and 12 illustrate the power and voltage
responses of PV system under rapid temperature variation and load changing in order to verify the robustness
of proposed technique. The obtained results show a good robustness of the FSMC technique. It takes less
time to track accurately and maintains the output power at MPP all time.From the above results, it can be
clearly seen that the FSMC technique overcomes the chattering problem and exhibits very good performance
compared to classical sliding mode controller. However we note that the perturb and observe method exhibits
a hard oscillation which reduces the output power of the PV system.
Finally, a comparative study of the performance of the proposed method with two algorithms
published recently by Chiu et al. [18] and Guenounou et al. [19] is done. The proposed technique in [19] is
based on the adaptive fuzzy controller to track MPP for PV system while the algorithm elaborated in [18] is
based on terminal sliding mode control to maximize the produced PV power. These two techniques are
compared with the FSMC technique which consists of two control techniques (Fuzzy logic and sliding mode
control) as described above. The simulation results show that the PV power generation system reaches the
desired voltage and maximum power point at 0.1s for alghorithm in [18] and 0.12s for algorithm in [19].
Contrariwise, the proposed FSMC achieved the MPP at 0.01s which means that our controller track the MPP
rapidly and provides high robustness to parameter uncertainties. Furthermore, the FSMC reduces the
oscillation around the MPP.
6. CONCLUSION
In this paper, a fuzzy sliding mode controller based MPPT technique was developed and tested. The
proposed controller is designed by combining the fuzzy logic and sliding mode control to guarantee the
stability and the tracking performance and also to avoid the drawbacks of the traditional SM and FL
controllers. A Matlab/Simulink based simulation of a stand-alone PV system under varying climatic
conditions and two levels of load was carried out to validate the proposed controller. Simulation results
demonstrate that the designed FSMC-MPPT exhibits good responses as it successfully and accurately
achieved the maximum power point with a significantly higher performance than the P&O, SM and FLC
strategies. The proposed approach provides a feasible approach to control PV power systems.
