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 document summarizes a simulation study comparing the performance of three maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms - incremental conductance, perturb and observe, and fuzzy logic control - for a 100 kW photovoltaic system connected to the electrical grid. The system was simulated in MATLAB/Simulink under varying irradiance conditions. Graphs of solar irradiance, PV voltage, duty cycle, modulation index, DC link voltage, grid voltage, grid current, and output power are presented for each MPPT algorithm to analyze and compare their performance.
Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control for Photovoltaic SystemIJPEDS-IAES
ย
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 controllerโs 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.
In photovoltaic (PV) systems, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are used to track the maximum power from the PV array under the change in irradiance and temperature conditions. The perturb and observe (P&O) is one of the most widely used MPPT techniques in recent times due to its simple implementation and improved performance. However, the P&O has limitations such as oscillation around the MPP during which time the P&O algorithm will become confused due to rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. To overcome the above limitation, this paper uses the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to track the maximum power from the PV system under different irradiance, integrates it with a DC-DC boost converter as a tracker. The result of the FLC performance is compared with the traditional P&O method and shows the MPPT algorithm based on FLC ensures continuous tracking of the maximum power within a short period compared with the traditional P&O method. Besides that, the proposed method (FLC) has a faster dynamic response and low oscillations at the operating point around the MPP under steady-state conditions and dynamic change in irradiance.

To overcome this shortcoming, the incremental conductance (IC) algorithm is applied that could control the converter work cycle and the switching of the buck boost therefore maximum efficiency of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is reached. The operation of the PV-wind hybrid system, consisting of a 100 W PV array device and a 400 W wind subsystem, 12 V/100 Ah battery energy storage and LED, the PV-wind system requires a hybrid controller for battery charging and usage and load lamp and itโs conducted in experimental setup.

Therefore, a high sampling frequency is attained, and consequently the tracking speed is improved. MATLAB simulations and the Xilinx FPGA implementation results show that the improved approach reaches a performance very close to the recently published MPPT methods, with lesser complexity.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and

ย
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

ย
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

ย
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary

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.

1. INTRODUCTION
The growing need for energy and the possibility of a decrease in the supply of conventional fuels, as
demonstrated by the problems with natural gas, coal, and petroleum, have spurred research and development
of renewable, cleaner, and less environmentally harmful alternative energy sources [1]โ[3]. Additionally,
among the alternative energy sources, the currently thought to be a more practical natural energy source is the
generation of electrical energy from photovoltaic (PV) cells because it is plentiful, available for free, clean
and is dispersed throughout the earth. It also plays a crucial role in every other method of generating energy
on earth. Therefore, harnessing solar energy through photovoltaic cells has gained significant attention in the
search for sustainable energy solutions. Moreover, despite the phenomena of sunlight absorption and
reflection by the surrounding environment, the amount of solar energy that occurs on earth's surface is
thought to be 10,000 times greater than global energy consumption [4].
Evaluation of photovoltaic source due to its nonlinear output features which alternate with
atmospheric solar irradiation and temperature are another crucial component of using a photovoltaic source.
When the PV array experiences non-uniform insolation, like in partially shadowed conditions, the
characteristics grow more complex and result in several peaks [5]. The efficiency may be reduced due to

existence of numerous peaks. Therefore, various methods have been established to monitor the maximum
power point, including the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm and fuzzy logic controller (FLC), which are
commonly used in PV systems.
P&O algorithm able to be presented by processing actual values of photovoltaic current and voltage,
regardless of atmospheric circumstances, type of photovoltaic panel or aging to track the maximum power
point continuously. Due to its ease implementation and simplicity, it has been a common method used in the
photovoltaic system. The process entails varying the PV array's voltage or current, either up or down, and
comparing the resultant PV output power to the power from the preceding perturbation cycle [6]. If the
operating voltage changes and the power increases, the control system will tilt the solar array's operating
point in that direction; if not, it will move it in a different direction. The following perturbation cycle of the
algorithm is conducted in the same way. The benefits of the P&O method include its simplicity, ease of
implementation and control, low cost, and high output power [7], [8].
Since the FLC is robust, simple to construct, and able to handle nonlinearity and defective inputs
without requiring an exact mathematical model, it has also been frequently utilized by PV systems to monitor
the maximum power point [9], [10]. The FLC technique consists of three stages: fuzzification, aggregation
and defuzzification. A membership function created during fuzzification stage to convert the numerical input
variables. The input and output system are linguistically related. Rules are the relationships and a fuzzy set is
the result of each rule. Therefore, numerous rules are applied to improve conversion efficiency.
A separate output of fuzzy set is created by aggregating the fuzzy sets produced by each rule, which is called
as aggregation process. The defuzzification method subsequently sharpens the output from the fuzzy set
[11]โ[13].
Driven by the literature survey mentioned earlier, in this paper, a modified method combining both
the P&O algorithm and FLC has been developed. Due to limitations in the traditional perturb and observe
approach, such as delayed convergence or ascent to the maximum power point, oscillation of photovoltaic
power around the maximum power point under steady state that results in power loss, and rapid changes in
maximum power point position due to fluctuating atmospheric conditions, a modified fuzzy logic controller
based perturb and observe for maximum power point tracking has been established based variable step size.
The layout of this paper is as follows: the paper consists of 5 parts, following with introduction, section 2
presents PV system description which consists of PV system, PV panel model and power converter. Besides,
section 3 presents the fuzzy logic-based perturb and observes MPPT, while section 4, it consists of the
discussion of the simulation result and findings which are obtained from MATLAB/Simulink. Lastly,
section 5 presents the conclusion.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
2.1. Photovoltaic system
The photovoltaic system combined with a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is
displayed in Figure 1. When designing a photovoltaic system, two key aspects need to be considered: the
modelling of the MPPT boost direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter and the modelling of the
photovoltaic array. The objective is to optimize power transmission by adjusting the load impedance to
coincide with the peak power point [14].
2.2. PV panel model
Electrical energy can be generated through the conversion of solar energy, facilitated by solar
photovoltaic technologies. These devices use solar cells to directly convert exposure to sunlight into DC
electrical energy. The circuit architecture of a photovoltaic panel, which consists of resistors, diodes, and a
current source, is shown in Figure 2. Photovoltaic cells employ a semiconductor structure, typically a p-n
junction, to harness the energy from photons in sunlight. When exposed to solar radiation, the cells absorb
photons, causing the mobilization of electrons and the subsequent generation of electricity. As a result, when
a load is connected to a photovoltaic cell throughout the period of irradiance, electric charges flow as direct
current. To achieve the desired voltage and current levels, the cells can be linked in either shunt or series
configuration. Connecting the cells in series allows for higher output voltage, while connecting them in
parallel enables higher output current.
The photovoltaic array's circuit structure is shown in Figure 2, allowing it possible to calculate ๐ผ๐๐ฃ,
which stands for the array's output current. The equation (1) provides the derivation of ๐ผ๐โ, which represents
the photogenerated current and is expressed as (1):

where ๐๐ is the absolute operating temperature, ๐๐ ๐ก๐ is the temperature at standard test condition (STC) which

2.3. DC-DC power converter
A circuit in the electrical system called a power converter takes a DC input and outputs a DC output
with a distinct voltage. High frequency switching operations involving inductive and capacitive filter
components are used to accomplish this transition. A power converter's function is to convert electric energy
from one form to an optimized form that suits the specific load requirements. In the context of photovoltaic
systems, one commonly used type of power converter is the DC-DC boost converter [15]. The fundamental
arrangement of a DC-DC boost converter is depicted in Figure 3. It comprises two semiconductor devices,
such as a transistor and a diode/IGBT, as well as an inductor, input and output capacitors, and a DC load
connection. The boost converter operates by increasing the input DC voltage, given that the output voltage is
greater than the source voltage, the converter is a step-up [16].
The DC-DC boost converter expression can be obtained as follows, where the duty rate of the switch
and the voltage at the input determine the increase in the level of the output voltage.

3. ALGORITHM OF VARIABLE STEP SIZE P&O BY UTILIZING FLC
3.1. Perturb and observe description
P&O approaches are commonly implemented to extract the maximum power point in a photovoltaic
system due to its simplicity and minimal parameter requirements. The voltage of the array is periodically
perturbed by either increasing or decreasing it, and the P&O algorithm contrasts the power from the prior
perturbation cycle with the present solar output power [17]. The perturbation keeps going in the identical
manner as the power increases; otherwise, it changes direction. As a result, each maximum power point
tracking cycle induces a change in the terminal voltage of the array. In situations where atmospheric
conditions exhibit continuous or gradual changes, the P&O algorithm will subsequently adapt, possibly
resulting in the loss of photovoltaic power [18].
Taking into consideration the step size of voltage perturbation in Figure 4(a) as well as the I-V and
P-V characteristic curves in Figure 4(b). Figures 4(a)-(b) show how to perturb and observe maximum power
point tracking. It firmly shows that the output current and voltage of a solar photovoltaic system accurately
characterize its electrical behavior under changing solar irradiation. When the solar source's terminal voltage
is successfully managed to retain a level that maximizes the product of photovoltaic voltage and current, the
maximum power point is reached. The knee point of the typical I-V curve for photovoltaic diodes is depicted
in Figure 4(a)-(b), along with the limitations for open circuit voltage (๐
๐๐) and short circuit current (๐ผ๐ ๐)
presented [19].
Analyzing the solar arrays voltage and output derivatives, which establishes an alteration in the
operating point, is the fundamental idea underpinning P&O techniques for MPPT. This method involves
periodically adjusting the photovoltaic array voltage by either increasing or decreasing it. The operating point
will be to the left of the maximum power point (MPP) if an increase in the operating voltage causes an
increase in output power. This means that additional voltage perturbations will be required to reach the MPP
on the right. Conversely, in the situation where a spike in voltage causes a drop in power, the location of the
center of operations will be to the right of the MPP, necessitating more perturbations to shift leftward and
near the MPP [20], [21].

3.2. Description of fuzzy logic controller
A notable control strategy based on artificial intelligence for tracking maximum power point is the
FLC. Fuzzy logic, often known as fuzzy set theory, offers a new method for measuring peak power points.
The translation of input variables, which include the first perturbation step size and the immediate observed
slope of solar power, through linguistic values by fuzzification is illustrated in Figure 5 by the fuzzy logic
controller's block design. This process involves the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy sets, which represent
smooth changes in membership rather than abrupt transitions, forming the basis for fuzzy logic controllers
[22]. The inference engine in the controller assesses the fuzzy rules and linguistic variable definitions to
make decisions and determine the appropriate fuzzy control action. To obtain a non-fuzzy (crisp) control
action that closely resembles the fuzzy one, a defuzzification technique is applied since a fuzzy controller
produces a fuzzy set as its output. The final step involves obtaining the crisp value for the variable step size,
which serves as the output of the controller.

Figure 5. Block schematic of a fuzzy logic controller
An analytical method called fuzzy logic control makes it possible to include human reasoning and
expertise into the development of nonlinear controllers [23]. Typically, fuzzy controller rules are expressed
using linguistic terms. Commonly, two distinct kinds of fuzzy inference systems are employed: Sugeno and
Mamdani. The Mamdani inference system synthesizes a collection of linguistic control rules defined by
expert human operators, with each rule producing a fuzzy set as its output. This technique works especially
well in expert applications for systems where the rules are derived from human skill and are easy to
comprehend, like medical diagnostics [24]. Conversely, the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang inference system, also
called the Sugeno inference system, employs single output membership functions, which may be unchanging
factor or linear functions of the input values. Unlike the Mamdani system, which computes the centroid of a
two-dimensional area, a weighted average or sum of a limited amount of data points is used in a Sugeno
system, making it more computationally efficient [25].
Table 2 shows the fuzzy rule base table for maximum power point tracking. There are about 25 rules
developed in the fuzzy logic toolbox to prescribe conclusion of the instantaneous voltage of the variable step
size. The inputs indicate the step size perturbation and P-V curve slope while one output indicates variable
step size.

Figure 6 illustrates the flowchart of the fuzzy logic controller-based perturb and observe MPPT
algorithm. This algorithm evaluates power variations and adjusts the operational voltage of a photovoltaic
system by modifying the effective of the boost converter's input resistance through altering the switching
device's duty cycle. The system initiates by measuring two parameters: voltage and current from the
photovoltaic system. The flowchart provides a detailed explanation of the process.
In the beginning the fuzzy logic controller and the P&O technique are the two different paths that
result from the voltage and current measurements. Various calculations are performed based on the
measurements to determine the actual power (Ppv (k)), the changes in power (ฮ Ppv (k)), and the changes in
voltage (ฮ Vpv (k)). In these computations, the immediate voltage and current measurements are
incorporated with corresponding prior values. The two inputs that the fuzzy logic controller obtains are the
perturbation step size and the slope, which is the outcome of dividing ฮP by ฮV.
The variable step size used to perform tiny voltage adjustments is the fuzzy logic controller's output,
and it is added to the solar voltage. This action also modifies the duty cycle of the photovoltaic voltage
depending on the two inputs. When the delta power is equal to zero, the solar panel is said to be functioning
at its maximum power point condition. When ฮP is greater than zero, the sign is positive, and vice versa.
Similarly, when ฮV is positive, the voltage is updated by incorporating the minor adjustments obtained from
the fuzzy logic controller's output. Employing MATLAB/Simulink, the fuzzy logic-based P&O for PV
MPPT is established, simulated, and is discussed in the section that follows.

The perturbation step size is expressed by the first input variable, FS, as shown in Figure 9. The second input,
expressed as S in Figure 10, is ฮP/ฮV, or the P-V curve's slope. The fuzzy logic controller produces an
output called the variable step size (VSS), as illustrated in Figure 11.

The fuzzy rule consists of fixed variables A, B, and C, along with changing variables X1, Y1, and
A1~A25, which represent the variable relationship according to the fixed variables. These rules are
visualized in a 3-D dimension due to the presence of three different FIS variables, as shown in Figure 12. The
complete set of rules are visible in the rule viewer depicted in Figure 13. The two inputs are altered as part of
the fuzzy system's inference process in order to observe the matching output - that is, the defuzzified output
values and the aggregated output fuzzy set, for every fuzzy rule. The P&O method completes when the fuzzy
logic controller outputs the duty cycle (ฮD) change. Hence, this method is designed in the fuzzy logic-based
perturb and observe approach to ensure that the PV output always remains in an optimal state.

specific conditions: array @ 25 ยฐC with specified irradiances and array @ 1,000 W/mยฒ with specified
temperatures. Various irradiance and temperature values are examined to track different states of the
maximum power point. In Figure 14, the irradiance levels are varied from 1,000 W/mยฒ to 400 W/mยฒ, while in
Figure 15, the temperatures range from 85 ยฐC to 25 ยฐC. The red dot indicates the maximum power point and
the corresponding maximum current at different voltages, as shown in Tables 3 to 6. These curves are
correlated with the simulation results of the photovoltaic system circuit model. Furthermore, a comparison is
made between the outputs of the boost converter with loads and the input of photovoltaic power.

4.3.2. Varying irradiance and fixed temperature
Figures 16 to 20 exhibit the findings of the simulation. This section focuses on the varying
irradiance with a fixed temperature of 25 ยฐC. The blue line in the graphs represents the photovoltaic array's
initial condition, while the red line represents the output of the boost converter and loads. The simulation
results are also tabulated in Table 7. Figure 17 shows a โladder down-shapeโ profile, indicating that the
power output varies with different irradiance levels. At t = 0.1 s, when the irradiance is 1,000 W/mยฒ, the

power at the maximum power point is approximately 250 W. Nevertheless, when the irradiance decreases to
800 W/mยฒ at t = 0.3 s, the power drops to around 200 W due to reduced irradiance reception. Both graphs
demonstrate similar outputs in controlling the photovoltaic power to maintain stability and avoid voltage
fluctuations. The explanation for these power outputs is provided in Figures 18 and 19. Figure 18 shows that
at an irradiance of 1,000 W/mยฒ, the photovoltaic voltage is 31.54 V, while the load voltage is 60.95 V, as a
result of the boost converter's nature to step up the system voltage. Similarly, Figure 19 illustrates that the
photovoltaic current is 7.85 A, and the load current is 4.064 A, which is less than the input current due to the
voltage increase in the boost converter at 1,000 W/mยฒ. This relationship aligns with Ohm's Law, where power
is the product of voltage and current, as stated in the P&O subsystem. To achieve the maximum power point,
the voltage or current needs to increase or decrease simultaneously. Hence, when the voltage reaches its
maximum or rises, the current decreases. Lastly, Figure 20 shows the variation of the duty cycle, which
follows the irradiance level. The initial duty cycle is 0.4808 and decreases proportionally with decreasing
irradiance. Hence, the simulation results indicate that the proposed modified P&O based fuzzy logic
controller exhibits excellent system performance by reducing steady-state oscillations close to the maximum
power point and demonstrating a prompt reaction to irradiance fluctuations.

5. CONCLUSION
Photovoltaic panels are undeniably one of the most noticeable alternative techniques for generating
renewable energy. However, a photovoltaic system without an MPPT algorithm faces challenges in
harnessing the maximum power potential. An MPPT algorithm is needed to guarantee that the solar array
runs at its peak efficiency. To gain advantages over the drawbacks of the ordinary fixed step size approach,
an improved P&O MPPT algorithm with a fuzzy logic controller and variable step size was developed and
put into practice. Simulation results indicate that the suggested approach responds to variations in irradiance
more quickly and lessens steady-state oscillations near the maximum power point. The main objectives of
this study were to evaluate and simulate the variable step size modifications of the P&O algorithm in a
photovoltaic system using MATLAB/Simulink. Three criteria were analyzed, including power generated,
current, voltage, and duty cycle, by comparing them with the P-V and I-V curve characteristics of the
photovoltaic panel. Some of the disadvantages of employing a fixed step size in MPPT are addressed by the
simulation findings, which show a trade-off between minimizing convergence time towards the maximum
power point and eliminating oscillations in the solar array's power output around the maximum power point.
Consequently, the primary goal of this paper, which aimed to examine the effectiveness of the improved
P&O based fuzzy logic controller with a variable step size in a photovoltaic system, has been achieved.
