This paper deals with analysis, modeling, and simulation of a Photovoltaic (PV) system with an intelligent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller based on fuzzy logic and to compare the dynamic performances: rapidity and stability of a fuzzy controller with the traditional controller based on the “Perturb and Observe” algorithm (P&O). The system is simulated under Simulink/Matlab environment. The simulation results show that the fuzzy MPPT controller is faster and more stable during abrupt changes in irradiation values.

This paper describes a MPPT control of the stator powers of a DFIG operating within a wind energy system using the backstepping control technique. The objective of this work consists of providing a robust control to the rotor-side converter allowing the stator active power to be regulated at the maximum power extracted from the wind turbine, as well as maintaining the stator reactive power at zero to maintain the power factor at unity, under various conditions. We have used the Matlab/Simulink platform to model the wind system based on a 7.5 kW DFIG and to implement the MPPT control algorithm in a first step, then we have implemented the field-oriented control and the backstepping controller in a second step. The simulation results obtained were very satisfactory with a fast transient response and neglected power ripples. They furthermore confirmed the high robustness of the approach used in dealing with the variation of the internal parameters of the machine.
