<![CDATA[This paper presents an enhanced asymmetrical fuzzy logic control (AFLC) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm designed for photovoltaic (PV) systems under partial shading conditions (PSCs). With the increasing global energy demand and growing environmental concerns, maximizing solar energy efficiency has become more essential than ever. The proposed AFLC-MPPT algorithm tackles the challenges of accurately tracking the global maximum power point (GMPP) in PSCs, where conventional methods frequently underperform. By utilizing asymmetrical membership functions and optimized rule sets, the algorithm significantly improves sensitivity and precision in detecting and responding to variations in shading. Simulations conducted in MATLAB/Simulink compare the performance of the proposed AFLC-based MPPT with the conventional perturb and observe (P&O) method across multiple shading scenarios. The results demonstrate that the AFLC approach outperforms the conventional method in terms of tracking speed, stability, and overall efficiency, particularly in dynamically changing environmental conditions. Furthermore, the AFLC algorithm provides substantial improvements in voltage regulation, reduces settling time, and minimizes steady-state oscillations, contributing to the more efficient and reliable operation of PV systems under partial shading conditions.]]>
