Abstract

Nowadays, renewable sources such as photovoltaic and wind play an important role in electricity generation and electrical application. Energy form the sun is the best way for generating electricity because is available in everywhere and free to harness. Electricity from the sun can be generated through the photovoltaic (PV). The PV comes in various power output to meet the load requirement and sometimes need to step-up or step-down using converter. The output voltage from converter is depending on the maximum power that can be absorbed by photovoltaic, radiation sunlight and temperature sunlight. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is use to control the output power from the converter. The power tracker is developed and tested successfully in the laboratory. The simulation studies are carried out in SIMULINK. Besides, the Perturb and Observation (P&O) algorithm also were used in order to estimate the parameter that would be used in the circuit. The measured parameters such as panel voltage, current and power are displayed on the computer. Furthermore, a low cost controller unit is develop, based on a single chip to control and track the output voltage, current and power of the system. The converter should small size, light weight and high efficiency.
