Zusammenfassung:This paper presents the implementation of a fuzzy controller on the Arduino Mega board, for tracking the maximum power point of a photovoltaic (PV) module; using low cost materials. A dc–dc converter that incorporates a driver circuit to control the turning on and off of the Mosfet transistor was designed. The controller was evaluated in a PV system consisting of a 65 W PV module and a 12 V/55Ah battery. The results demonstrate the superiority of the fuzzy controller compared to the traditional P&O algorithm, in terms of efficiency and oscillations around the operating point.
