Abstract
Abstract. In this paper, utilization of a boost converter to control photovoltaic power using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control mechanism is presented. First the photovoltaic module is analyzed using SIMULINK software. The main aim of the project is to use boost converter along with a Maximum Power Point Tracking control mechanism. The MPPT method is responsible for extracting maximum possible power from the photovoltaic cell and feed to the load via the boost converter which steps up the voltage to required magnitude. Perturb & observe method is the selected approach for MPPT mechanism. The algorithm is conducted in m files of MATLAB and utilized for simulation. Both the boost converter and the solar cell are modeled using Sim power Systems blocks.
