Abstract

Solar power backup systems provides a viable means of power generation for applications like powering residential appliances, electrification of villages in rural areas, telecommunications, refrigeration and water pumping particularly in agricultural irrigation. Solar power generation is reliable. These systems provide silently operation and maintenance costs are very low for create no atmospherically pollution. The objective of this thesis is to explain the basic operation of a solar power backup system. PV array parameters are obtained from the datasheet provided by the manufacturer. The IGBT inverter is used to change the direct current (DC) input from the buck converter to alternating current (AC) signal. Beside, a maximum power point tracker (MPP1) has been used in part of this system to ensure that the PV array delivers optimum power and also regulate the voltage output. Two types of energy storage has been used as a backup supply when lower irradiation in this system are battery and supercapacitor . The system has been composed using MATLAB/Simulink simulation software and tested based on certain conditions to analyze its performance. The results show that the system is working accordingly
