The project is divided into two parts. First is the simulated design using LT Spice to model a design of solar based stand alone power plant consists of photovoltaic cells which produces DC voltage. Then, a boost converter is modelled in MATLAB Simulink to increase the output voltage to 230 Volts or 240 Volts depending on the region. The last and most important component is the inverter or to be precise, a PWM inverter simulated in MATLAB Simulink to convert the DC from rectifier to AC for load consumption. All the above simulations have a detailed calculation and description for all the design's parameters. For the second part, there will be a construction of a separate simple prototype hardware design to ensure the reliability of an inverter to test its competitiveness to supply power to load. The prototype consists of a battery which produces DC power instead of solar arrays to ease the testing of the inverter. The inverter's oscillator then converts the DC to usable AC power at 50 Hz for load consumption. The AC voltage is then step up to 240 Volts to power up a common household loads. Besides, a brief load calculations will be carried out to determine the power that can be produced and for how long from the hardware product. The final results are that both the parts are able to operate, proving the objectives of this project. 2024-06-13T03:53:35Z 2024-06-13T03:53:35Z 2016 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/32614 en application/pdf
