Abstract

Nowadays, energy required to be used on our daily life for growing light and applications or warming our home or school. There are several types of energy sources that we used for the century, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and so on. The energy sources had separate into two different categories, which is non-renewable energy and renewable energy. One of the renewable energy was the Solar energy, that convert light energy into electrical energy. Hence the Solar Powered System had developed to collect the light energy from sunlight and converted into the electrical energy. In more detail, the solar-powered system consists of a solar panel that collects solar energy during daytime and a battery that stores the energy from the solar panel to use during night-time. Since, the solar-powered system is depending on the sunlight, when there is a rainy and cloudy day, the performance or power of the solar panel will drop, and not enough power to charge the battery. Based on the unstable power source delivery from the solar panel, the prototype required to design to ensure the power delivery will safely charge the battery. Next, to ensure the power from solar panel can be fully utilized, the design on buck-boost converter will be used to secure the efficiency of solar power system. This project expected to investigate a battery charging and discharging algorithm by using FPGA and generate the power delivery performance.
