Abstract

Researches on power extraction from renewable energy sources are increasing day by day. Solar energy source is one of the most available and cheap renewable resources. Power intermittency and power quality issues are the major concerns when extracting power from photovoltaic system. Power conditioning devices and controllers play a vital role to avoid the concerned issues. This paper proposes a low distortion intelligent fuzzy-aided modular input series output series system. The performance of controllers is evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the output is verified using hardware implementation.
