Abstract

A rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system is a significant solution for building-integrated centralized generation in low-voltage (LV) DC grids. The drilling-free rooftop PV-inductive wireless power transfer (PV-IWPT) system can reduce installation and post-maintenance costs by eliminating physical cable connections, thereby preventing thermal bridge disruption and rain penetration. Additionally, the PV-IWPT system offers inherent isolation properties between the input and output terminals. However, achieving maximum efficiency point tracking (MEPT) for both the PV panels and the system under diverse irradiance conditions is challenging. This paper proposes a novel approach to improve system performance by replacing the traditional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller with a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and utilizing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) instead of MEPT. Furthermore, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques are employed to ensure stable output. The proposed method enhances efficiency, stability, and adaptability of the PV-IWPT system, making it a robust solution for LVDC grid integration.
