Prediction of Ambient condition for high efficiency of solar panel using fuzzy logic controller
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rise in energy crisis required clean and suitable energy resources with higher efficiency. Due to large availability of the solar light, energy generation from solar energy is considered as one of the most suitable energy generation method. However, certain environmental factors affect the efficiency of the solar energy generation from solar
panel using photo-voltaic effect. In this work, a parametric estimation is carried out using a fuzzy rule-based system to study the impact of various environmental factors including temperature, humidity and wind velocity on the output solar PV efficiency. All the factors equally impact the efficiency of the solar panel resulting in affecting the efficiency of the solar panel. The simulated and calculated results are compared which shows error less than 1%, which shows the accuracy of the soft computing technique (fuzzy rule based system).
