Design of a charge controller circuit with Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) for Photovoltaic system
Abstract
This thesis, aim to design and simulation of a simple but effective charge controller with
maximum power point tracker for photovoltaic system. It provides theoretical studies of
photovoltaic systems and modeling techniques using equivalent electric circuits. As, the
system employs the maximum power point tracker (MPPT), it is consists of various
MPPT algorithms and control methods. P-Spice and MATLAB simulations verify the
DC-DC converter design and hardware implementation. The results validate that MPPT
can significantly increase the efficiency and the performance of PV.
