Maximal Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are generally sufficient for tracking the optimum power point of a solar or photo voltaic (PV) system. But when ramps occur in the PV systems, then only MPPT controllers are not sufficient and we need an improved controller to perform the task of ramp minimization. In this paper we propose a fuzzy based MPPT controller to control the ramp capabilities of a PV system, which is found to be superior to the normal MPPT based controller. The results and observations show that the proposed controller has 10% higher efficiency in ramp control when compared to standard MPPT controller, and thus it can be used in real time environments where there is a need to control the ramp capabilities to a large extent.
