1. INTRODUCTION
The non-renewable source of energy is depleting rapidly and the demand for power is increasing
day by day. To overcome this problem, generation of electric power from renewable source of energy should
be made effective and efficient [1]. The energy source which the society can depend on is renewable energy
since it is clean, pollution free, and endless. Photovoltaic (PV) system is one of power generations that utilize
renewable energy [2]. To reduce consumption of conventional energy, then the PV system must be connected
to grid, either directly or through back-up battery bank. However, the PV system has low efficiency because
of the power generated from PV systems depends on the irradiation and temperature variation [2].
For the control of the PV systems, there are various types of DC-DC converters such as, Buck
converter, Boost converter and Buck-Boost converter. The output of buck converter is less than the input
voltage whereas the boost converter output is greater than the input voltage. The polarity of buck-boost
converter is inversed of input signal. F. Yusivar et al 2011 have been proposed Buck-Converter Photovoltaic
Simulator [3]. Where as Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) is a special type of DC-DC
converter which maintains a constant output voltage even under varying input conditions and load
conditions [4].
From the literature survey it can be understood that SEPIC is widely used converter topology in
renewable source based energy generation. S. Venkatanarayanan et al; January 2014 are presented
photovoltaic energy system with SEPIC converter [5]. The SEPIC converter is proposed also by Ahmad H.
El Khateb et al 2012 [6]. Another recent search (G.Thambi et al 2015) [7], a SEPIC converter for a
standalone PV system is chosen. SEPIC converter also overcomes the drawback of buck-boost converter.
The performance of SEPIC converter can further be improved by using a suitable control scheme [2].

The control of this SEPIC converter is a much discussed and invested very subject. Indeed, this
converter is nonlinear in nature and different approaches have been used to control it. Conventional control
modes such as voltage mode control and current mode control require a good knowledge of the converter and
therefore a fairly accurate model [1]. Proportional-integral Control for SEPIC Converter is presented by S.
Venkatanarayanan et al 2014 [8], Current mode control and PI Controller have been proposed by Tadi G L
Krishna Reddy et al 2013 [9].
These controllers are easy to implement and simple to design, but their performance generally
depends on the operating point so that too large disturbance, wide load variation ranges or supply voltage
variations can make the choice of the parameters very difficult for different operating conditions.
However, a very different approach is offered by the fuzzy logic control (FLC), which does not
require precise mathematical model or complex calculation [10]. The fuzzy control technique is based
primarily on human understanding of the process control and on qualitative rules. The objective of this
research is to develop a fuzzy voltage regulator for a SEPIC converter. This paper is organized as follows. In
section 2, the photovoltaic array model is presented. Section 3 presents the SEPIC converter, while the design
of the fuzzy logic controller for the SEPIC converter has been done in section 4. Simulation results are shown
in section 5. Finally conclusion is given in section 6.
2. PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY MODEL
Photovoltaic is the field of technology and research related to the devices which directly convert
sunlight into electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic cells convert
solar radiation directly into DC electrical energy [11]. The photovoltaic panel is composed of many cells,
placed in series Ns or in shunt Nsh. Where it can be modelled by current source connected in parallel with
diode according with shunt and series resistor noted by and as illustrated in Figure 1 [12].
The output current is given by the following equations:
(1)
* ( ) + (2)
: Photo-current : Ideality factor
: Boltzmann’s constant : Cell temperature
: Diode current Series resistance
: Saturation current : Electronic charge
: Shunt resistance : Cell voltage
: Cell current
Figure 1. Photovoltaic array circuit
Typically, the shunt resistance ( ) is very large and the series resistance ( ) is very small [13].
Therefore, it is common to neglect these resistances in order to simplify the solar cell model. The resultant
ideal voltage-current characteristic of a photovoltaic cell is given by equation (3).

Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the behavior of a photovoltaic module simulation in accordance to solar
radiation variation and at a constant temperature.

study under different solar irradiance and constant

study under different solar irradiance and constant

As we can see in the curve of the Figure above (Figure 2), the current increase is highly affected by
the solar radiation.
3. DC-DC/SEPIC CONVERTER
A DC-DC converter with simpler structure and higher efficiency has been an active research topic in
the power electronics [14]. The proposed converter is based on DC to DC converter to maintain the constant
output voltage [1]. Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) converter consists of a switch S with
duty cycle , a diode, two inductors L1 and L2, two capacitors C1 and C2 and a load resistor. The circuit
diagram of a SEPIC converter is shown in Figure 4.
A SEPIC is a type of DC-DC converter [15]; allowing the electrical potential (voltage) at its output
to be less than, greater than, or equal to that at its input; the output of the SEPIC is controlled by the duty
cycle of the control transistor. SEPIC is effectively a boost converter followed by a buck-boost converter,
consequently it is like to a conventional buck-boost converter, other than has advantages of having
non-inverted output (the output has the same voltage polarity as the input), passing through a series capacitor
to couple energy from the input to the output (and thus can respond more gracefully to a short-circuit output),
and being able of factual shutdown: after the switch “S” is turned off, its output drops to 0 V, following a
rather hefty transient abandon of charge [16]. Figure 4 shows a simple circuit diagram of a SEPIC converter
can both step up and step down the input voltage, while maintaining the same polarity and the same ground
reference for the input and output.

Figure 5 shows the circuit when the power switch is turned on and off (respectively in
Figures a and b). Figure 5a When the switch is turned on; the first inductor; is charged from the input
voltage source during this time. The second inductor takes energy from the first capacitor , and the output
capacitor is left to provide the load current.

Figure 5. Equivalent circuit diagram of the SEPIC converter when the switch is ON and OFF
When the switch is turned on, the input inductor is charged from the source, and the second inductor
is charged from the first capacitor. No energy is supplied to the load capacitor during this time. Inductor
current and capacitor voltage polarities are marked in this Figure. When the power switch is turned off, the
energy stored in inductor is transferred to .The energy stored in is transferred to through the diode
and supplying the energy to load [9], as shown in Figure 5.b. The second inductor is also connected to the
load during this time. The output capacitor sees a pulse of current during the off time, making it inherently
noisier than a buck converter. The amount that the SEPIC converters increase or decrease the voltage depends
primarily on the duty cycle and the parasitic elements in the circuit.
The output of an ideal SEPIC converter is:

A SEPIC converter is to process the electricity from the PV system. This converter either increases
or decreases the PV system voltage at the load. The proposed SEPIC converter operates in buck mode.
4. THE FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR THE SEPIC CONVERTER
In fuzzy logic controller (FLC) design, one should identify the main control variables and determine
the sets that describe the values of each linguistic variable. The input variables of the FLC are the output
voltage error ( ) and the change of this error ( ) of the SEPIC converter. The output of the FLC is
the duty cycle of ( ) of the PWM signal, which regulates the output voltage. The triangular membership
functions are used for the FLC for easier computation. A five-term fuzzy set, i.e., negative big (NB), negative
small (NS), zero (Z), Positive small (PS), and positive big (PB), is defined to describe each linguistic
variable. The fuzzy rules of the proposed SEPIC DC-DC converter can be represented in a symmetric form
(table 1).For the output variable ( ), five-term fuzzy is defined to give sharpness to the regulation: negative
big (NB), negative small (NS), zero (Z), Positive small (PS) and positive big (PB). The variables of the FLC
for the SEPIC converter are as follow:
The first input is the error in the output voltage ( )
) ) (5)
The second input is the variation (the change) in error ( )

The single output variable ( ) is duty cycle.

Fuzzy control rules are derived from the analysis of the converter behavior:
a. When the output of the converter is far from the set point (Positive Big or Negative Big), the duty
cycle should be close to zero or one so as to bring to the set point quickly.
b. When the output of the converter is approaching to the set point (Negative Small or Positive Small),
a small change of the duty cycle is necessary.
c. When the output of the converter is approaching very close to the set point, duty cycle must be kept
constant in order to prevent the overshoot.

The parameters of the SEPIC converter used in this study are given in Table 3. In the full model; the
SEPIC converter is connected to the PV panel, and the duty cycle of this is controlled using the Fuzzy Logic
Controller. The results are provided under standard test conditions; G=1000 W/m2

this Figure (Figure 10) we notice that since the time 0.1S the model gave a stable voltage (24 V), and thus a
current and a power so stable. To prove the efficiency of the integration of SEPIC converter controlled by the
fuzzy logic controller for the photovoltaic system, we have studying the influence of the temperature and the
solar irradiation separately.

Figure 13. Voltage, current and power output results; at G=1000 W/m2
and T=55°C
From this three Figures above (Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13) it is clear that for a variable
temperature value, we obtain the desired voltage (24 V), and it is so stable since 0.1S.
5.2. Influence of Irradiation
For stable temperature (T=25°C), and for a variable solar irradiation, we obtain the results shown in
the Figures. Figures Figure 14, Figure 15 and Figure 16 shows the simulation results obtained from the model
(T=25°C); for G=900W/m2
, G=800W/m2
and G=700W/m2
respectively. From the Figures 14, 15 and 16; it is
notable that the output voltage is 24 V, even if there are a variation in the solar irradiance. We summarize
from the results given from the study that the temperature and solar irradiation variations can be addressed by
the FLC controller, and this is observed, and generally the steady state is not exceeding 0.4 s.

6. CONCLUSION
The SEPIC performs the voltage conversion from positive source voltage to positive load voltage.
Due to the time variations and switching nature of the power converters, their dynamic behavior becomes
highly non-linear. In this paper; a stand-alone solar-PV energy generation system with a SEPIC; DC-DC
converter controlled by a Fuzzy Logic Controller has been designed and the efficiency of the system has been
presented under variation in temperature and solar irradiation. This study has successfully demonstrated the
design, analysis and suitability of fuzzy logic controller for SEPIC converter.

Email: ouddameryem@gmail.com 1. INTRODUCTION The non-renewable source of energy is depleting rapidly and the demand for power is increasing day by day. To overcome this problem, generation of electric power from renewable source of energy should be made effective and efficient [1]. The energy source which the society can depend on is renewable energy since it is clean, pollution free, and endless. Photovoltaic (PV) system is one of power generations that utilize renewable energy [2]. To reduce consumption of conventional energy, then the PV system must be connected to grid, either directly or through back-up battery bank. However, the PV system has low efficiency because of the power generated from PV systems depends on the irradiation and temperature variation [2]. For the control of the PV systems, there are various types of DC-DC converters such as, Buck converter, Boost converter and Buck-Boost converter. The output of buck converter is less than the input voltage whereas the boost converter output is greater than the input voltage. The polarity of buck-boost converter is inversed of input signal. F. Yusivar et al 2011 have been proposed Buck-Converter Photovoltaic Simulator [3]. Where as Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) is a special type of DC-DC converter which maintains a constant output voltage even under varying input conditions and load conditions [4]. From the literature survey it can be understood that SEPIC is widely used converter topology in renewable source based energy generation. S. Venkatanarayanan et al; January 2014 are presented photovoltaic energy system with SEPIC converter [5]. The SEPIC converter is proposed also by Ahmad H. El Khateb et al 2012 [6]. Another recent search (G.Thambi et al 2015) [7], a SEPIC converter for a standalone PV system is chosen. SEPIC converter also overcomes the drawback of buck-boost converter. The performance of SEPIC converter can further be improved by using a suitable control scheme [2].
  • 2. IJPEDS ISSN: 2088-8694  Photovoltaic System with SEPIC Converter Controlled by the Fuzzy Logic (Meryem Oudda) 1284 The control of this SEPIC converter is a much discussed and invested very subject. Indeed, this converter is nonlinear in nature and different approaches have been used to control it. Conventional control modes such as voltage mode control and current mode control require a good knowledge of the converter and therefore a fairly accurate model [1]. Proportional-integral Control for SEPIC Converter is presented by S. Venkatanarayanan et al 2014 [8], Current mode control and PI Controller have been proposed by Tadi G L Krishna Reddy et al 2013 [9]. These controllers are easy to implement and simple to design, but their performance generally depends on the operating point so that too large disturbance, wide load variation ranges or supply voltage variations can make the choice of the parameters very difficult for different operating conditions. However, a very different approach is offered by the fuzzy logic control (FLC), which does not require precise mathematical model or complex calculation [10]. The fuzzy control technique is based primarily on human understanding of the process control and on qualitative rules. The objective of this research is to develop a fuzzy voltage regulator for a SEPIC converter. This paper is organized as follows. In section 2, the photovoltaic array model is presented. Section 3 presents the SEPIC converter, while the design of the fuzzy logic controller for the SEPIC converter has been done in section 4. Simulation results are shown in section 5. Finally conclusion is given in section 6. 2. PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY MODEL Photovoltaic is the field of technology and research related to the devices which directly convert sunlight into electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic cells convert solar radiation directly into DC electrical energy [11]. The photovoltaic panel is composed of many cells, placed in series Ns or in shunt Nsh. Where it can be modelled by current source connected in parallel with diode according with shunt and series resistor noted by and as illustrated in Figure 1 [12]. The output current is given by the following equations: (1) * ( ) + (2) : Photo-current : Ideality factor : Boltzmann’s constant : Cell temperature : Diode current Series resistance : Saturation current : Electronic charge : Shunt resistance : Cell voltage : Cell current Figure 1. Photovoltaic array circuit Typically, the shunt resistance ( ) is very large and the series resistance ( ) is very small [13]. Therefore, it is common to neglect these resistances in order to simplify the solar cell model. The resultant ideal voltage-current characteristic of a photovoltaic cell is given by equation (3).

P–V curves of solar PV module used in this study under different solar irradiance and constant temperature 25°C As we can see in the curve of the Figure above (Figure 2), the current increase is highly affected by the solar radiation. 3. DC-DC/SEPIC CONVERTER A DC-DC converter with simpler structure and higher efficiency has been an active research topic in the power electronics [14]. The proposed converter is based on DC to DC converter to maintain the constant output voltage [1]. Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) converter consists of a switch S with duty cycle , a diode, two inductors L1 and L2, two capacitors C1 and C2 and a load resistor. The circuit diagram of a SEPIC converter is shown in Figure 4. A SEPIC is a type of DC-DC converter [15]; allowing the electrical potential (voltage) at its output to be less than, greater than, or equal to that at its input; the output of the SEPIC is controlled by the duty cycle of the control transistor. SEPIC is effectively a boost converter followed by a buck-boost converter, consequently it is like to a conventional buck-boost converter, other than has advantages of having non-inverted output (the output has the same voltage polarity as the input), passing through a series capacitor to couple energy from the input to the output (and thus can respond more gracefully to a short-circuit output), and being able of factual shutdown: after the switch “S” is turned off, its output drops to 0 V, following a rather hefty transient abandon of charge [16]. Figure 4 shows a simple circuit diagram of a SEPIC converter can both step up and step down the input voltage, while maintaining the same polarity and the same ground reference for the input and output.

Figure 5a When the switch is turned on; the first inductor; is charged from the input voltage source during this time. The second inductor takes energy from the first capacitor , and the output capacitor is left to provide the load current. Figure 5.a. On state (switch is on) Figure 5.b. Off state (switch is off) Figure 5. Equivalent circuit diagram of the SEPIC converter when the switch is ON and OFF When the switch is turned on, the input inductor is charged from the source, and the second inductor is charged from the first capacitor. No energy is supplied to the load capacitor during this time. Inductor current and capacitor voltage polarities are marked in this Figure. When the power switch is turned off, the energy stored in inductor is transferred to .The energy stored in is transferred to through the diode and supplying the energy to load [9], as shown in Figure 5.b. The second inductor is also connected to the load during this time. The output capacitor sees a pulse of current during the off time, making it inherently noisier than a buck converter. The amount that the SEPIC converters increase or decrease the voltage depends primarily on the duty cycle and the parasitic elements in the circuit. The output of an ideal SEPIC converter is: (4) A SEPIC converter is to process the electricity from the PV system. This converter either increases or decreases the PV system voltage at the load. The proposed SEPIC converter operates in buck mode. 4. THE FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR THE SEPIC CONVERTER In fuzzy logic controller (FLC) design, one should identify the main control variables and determine the sets that describe the values of each linguistic variable. The input variables of the FLC are the output voltage error ( ) and the change of this error ( ) of the SEPIC converter. The output of the FLC is the duty cycle of ( ) of the PWM signal, which regulates the output voltage. The triangular membership functions are used for the FLC for easier computation. A five-term fuzzy set, i.e., negative big (NB), negative small (NS), zero (Z), Positive small (PS), and positive big (PB), is defined to describe each linguistic variable. The fuzzy rules of the proposed SEPIC DC-DC converter can be represented in a symmetric form (table 1).For the output variable ( ), five-term fuzzy is defined to give sharpness to the regulation: negative big (NB), negative small (NS), zero (Z), Positive small (PS) and positive big (PB). The variables of the FLC for the SEPIC converter are as follow: The first input is the error in the output voltage ( ) ) ) (5) The second input is the variation (the change) in error ( ) ) ) ) (6) The single output variable ( ) is duty cycle.

When the output of the converter is far from the set point (Positive Big or Negative Big), the duty cycle should be close to zero or one so as to bring to the set point quickly. b. When the output of the converter is approaching to the set point (Negative Small or Positive Small), a small change of the duty cycle is necessary. c. When the output of the converter is approaching very close to the set point, duty cycle must be kept constant in order to prevent the overshoot. 5. SIMULATION RESULTS The photovoltaic array that we use in this paper is SCHOTT Solar (SCHOTT POLYTM 210); the characteristics of this array are given in Table 2. Table 2. Electrical data apply to standard test conditions (STC): (T=25°C, G=1000 W/m2 ) Variable Value Maximum Power Pmax= 210 W Open circuit voltage Voc = 36.1 V Short circuit current Isc = 7.95 A Voltage at maximum power Vmax = 29.3 V Current at maximum power Imax = 7.16 A Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the simulation result of the PV model. Figure 8. Current-Voltage characteristic Figure 9. Current-Power characteristic The parameters of the SEPIC converter used in this study are given in Table 3. In the full model; the SEPIC converter is connected to the PV panel, and the duty cycle of this is controlled using the Fuzzy Logic Controller. The results are provided under standard test conditions; G=1000 W/m2 and T=25°C. Figure 10 shows the simulation results obtained from the model; Vout=24V; Iout=3.25A and Power= 78 W. According this Figure (Figure 10) we notice that since the time 0.1S the model gave a stable voltage (24 V), and thus a current and a power so stable. To prove the efficiency of the integration of SEPIC converter controlled by the fuzzy logic controller for the photovoltaic system, we have studying the influence of the temperature and the solar irradiation separately.

CONCLUSION The SEPIC performs the voltage conversion from positive source voltage to positive load voltage. Due to the time variations and switching nature of the power converters, their dynamic behavior becomes highly non-linear. In this paper; a stand-alone solar-PV energy generation system with a SEPIC; DC-DC converter controlled by a Fuzzy Logic Controller has been designed and the efficiency of the system has been presented under variation in temperature and solar irradiation. This study has successfully demonstrated the design, analysis and suitability of fuzzy logic controller for SEPIC converter. REFERENCES [1] Mahendran. G, Kandaswamy.
