Optimization on PID and ANFIS Controller on Dual Axis Tracking for Photovoltaic Based on Firefly Algorithm

The sun emits light which is solar radiation energy. This solar radiation energy can be utilized for humans, including by changing the energy of solar radiation into electrical energy. Radiation energy is changed with the help of solar or photovoltaic panels. To increase the efficiency of electricity production in solar panels, by adding Dual Axis Tracking controls. The Dual Axis Tracking Photovoltaic system is expected that solar panels will always face the sun. Because of the deviation of the direction of the solar panel to the direction of the sun will reduce the performance of generating electricity. In this study comparing 4 dual-axis tracking design methods, namely without a controller, with PID-PSO controllers that have been studied, with PDI-FA controller, and with ANFIS-FA controller. The simulation results show that ANFIS-FA is the best controller of the four methods used. This research will be a reference to compare with other methods to obtain the best method in this study.
