Description
Summary:This report is prepared as a requirement for the design and simulation of 50W DC-DC SEPIC Boost Converter (boost mode) with PV maximum power point extraction. This project includes discussion of solar system, different types of DC-DC converters and various popular Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) algorithms. An alternative technique is used for tracking the maximum power point (MPP) of solar arrays. Some real applications of solar system for different loads such as resistive load, DC motor load and battery charging are described. The modeling and simulation of the PV panel and DC-DC converter with MPPT is carried out using with PSIM software.
