Abstract

Due to its random power production behavior, besides some loads’ nonlinearity and variation, the photovoltaic (PV) systems control is a significant part that must be taken into consideration. In this context, the present paper investigates a fuzzy integral sliding mode control (fuzzy-ISMC) strategy applied to an H-bridge inverter dedicated to a PV application. The designed scheme is intended to ensure robust, soft, and smooth reference tracking for the reactive and active power as well as insensitivity to system parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Aiming at this, the mathematical model of the studied system has been built, and the developed control signals are verified using Lyapunov stability theory. To assess the reliability and performance of the proposed control method, a numerical simulation has been carried out through MATLAB/ Simulink software for three suggested scenarios, in addition to experimental validation employing Dspace 1104 controller board and a PV source. The achieved results demonstrate that the proposed controller can combine the benefits of the ISMC and those of the linear controller in terms of total harmonic distortions (THD) and robustness against environmental and load variations.
