Abstract

Aim: Charge controller that leverages fuzzy logic was developed to enhance the efficiency of traditional charge controllers. A model was constructed and assessed for its performance through MATLAB/Simulink. It allows for flexibility in controlling the variability of renewable energy sources. It also improves the efficiency and lifespan of energy storage systems while minimizing the impact on the grid and environment.  Study of the design: The PV system consists of a PV module, PWM inverter, MPPT controller and DC-DC converter which are connected using MATLAB/Simulink environment. Methodology: we conducted validation tests to substantiate the advantages of our fuzzy charge controller. The creation of fuzzy rules was based on the system's performance and subsequently translated into precise values with the assistance of a fuzzy inference system. This Research Project was Completed in Two Months. Results: Our findings clearly demonstrate that the implementation of fuzzy logic control results in superior charge controller performance. This, in turn, safeguards against battery discharging and overcharging during unpredictable weather conditions. Conclusion: These protective measures are made possible through the decision-making capabilities of the DC-DC buck-boost converter, which effectively regulates both the voltage and current output of the PV module.
