In this paper, a photovoltaic (PV)-based single ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) is developed with introduction of dual-fuzzy logic controller (FLC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Separate FLC parts, for the first time used for MPPT, are configured for optimal operations of b...
