Abstract
A method is presented to improve the performance of off-grid photovoltaic systems using a battery charge controller equipped with solar panel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology. Today, the MPPT controller is an effective technology that ensures the ideal functioning of solar panels by searching and selecting the optimal power point. The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate the performance of a battery charge controller for solar panels based on the maximum power point tracking method. The proposed method uses a perturbation and observation algorithm and tracks the maximum power point based on the current and voltage output characteristics. A DC/DC buck converter was used in the study. The model of the proposed method was implemented in the Matlab Simulink software environment, and the efficiency of the operating algorithm was assessed. In addition, based on this model, an MPPT controller was developed, which was tested in real conditions. The reliability of the proposed method was also assessed. As a result of the study, the effectiveness of the developed system was revealed through a comparative analysis with a commercial battery charge controller
