This research investigates the effectiveness of three Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms—Incremental Conductance (IC), Perturb and Observe (P&O), and Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC)—in optimizing power output in grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) systems. Each algorithm was tested under varying environmental conditions, focusing on performance in terms of energy extraction, stability, and adaptability to fluctuating irradiance and temperature. Results indicate that FLC offers superior performance, exhibiting reduced power fluctuations and faster responsiveness to environmental changes compared to IC and P&O. These insights contribute to enhancing PV system efficiency and reliability in modern power grids.
