Abstract

This paper covers the comparison between four different DC-DC converters for solar power conversion. The four converters are buck converter, buck-boost converter, boost converter, and noninverting buck-boost converter. An MPPT algorithm is designed to calculate battery voltage, current of PV array, the voltage of PV array, power of PV array, output power. It is observed that the non-inverting buck-boost converter is the finest converter for solar power conversion. The final circuit design has the results of 12.2V battery voltage, 0.31A current of PV array, 34V voltage of PV array, 23mW power of PV panel, and 21.8mW of output power. The efficiency of this system is nearly 95%. All four circuits are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink R2020b.
