Solar energy is viewed as clean and renewable source of energy for the future. So the use of Photovoltaic systems has increased in many applications. This book presents two major approaches; sun tracking and maximum power point tracking. The controller used in this book is (FLC). Two fuzzy logic controllers are fabricated on modern FPGA card (Spartan-3AN, Xilinx Company, 2009) to increase the energy generation efficiency of tracking controller. Sun tracking generating power system is designed and implemented in real time. The proposed sun tracking controller, and the proposed maximum power...

The design of controllers for non- linear systems in industry is a complex and difficult task. The development of non-linear control techniques has been approaches in many different ways with varied results. One approach, which has shown promise for solving nonlinear control problems, is the use of fuzzy logic control. This book will discuss the Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) models as an example of nonlinear systems. It will also show the design of fuzzy logic controllers for this model to prove that the fuzzy controller can work properly with nonlinear system. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used...
