Abstract
In this study, fuzzy-tuned PI and fractional PID based controllers and a dual structure flyback converter design are presented for the control of a photovoltaic solar energy generation system. Since the ambient temperature and solar radiation levels change in the photovoltaic solar energy system, the loads are affected by this variability. It has been shown that an effective voltage control can be achieved by using this new dual-flyback converter structure designed to meet the variable DC voltage requirement of the loads in the system. The design and control of the dual flyback converter was performed with the fuzzy-tuned PI and fractional PID controller, respectively. System efficiency and stability were compared under the influence of these two different types of controllers. The studies were carried out in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment to emphasize the theoretical consistency of system performance studies in stable and transient conditions.
