Design and Implementation of a FLC for CD-CD Converters Using a Microcontroller for PV Systems

摘要

This paper presents the design and implementation of a simple fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for a DC-DC buck converter based on the PIC18F4550 microcontroller to control the lead acid battery charging voltage in solar cells applications. For cost consideration, an inexpensive 8-bit microcontroller is selected to program and implement the FLC proportional- integral. The obtained simulation and experimental results show the viability of the controller with a variation on the load of the buck converter showing a good performance on the design of the FLC, and it has also a smooth response with a small overshoot.
