Abstract

Increasing daily cost life nowdays had burden peoples in continuing their life. At the same time, industry sector also struck with this problem. Electricity usage for high voltage electrical appliances that consume more energy makes them to pay more of electricity cost. Renewable energy usage had also emphasized to overcome the lack of non-renewable energy day by day. Renewable energy such as solar energy that get from sun is the common renewable energy and reliable to use. Develop countries had been used this renewable energy in generate electricity for a long time. The unstable output voltage from solar panel makes it not suitable for electrical appliances usage and amount of voltage produced from solar energy is too small to generate high voltage electrical appliances. So, development of controller for boost converter is proposed to overcome this problem. By getting input 12 V from solar panel, it will produce 24 V constant output voltages for electrical appliances usage. The controller circuit that used is PIC microcontroller that will control the stability of output voltage and duty cycle to get the constant value. Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) gate driver is used to giving the pulse signal for MOSFET for its switching operation.
