Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the potentiality and cost-effectiveness of PV systems' application and ensure maximum power extraction from the solar panel. Solar panels have stationary parts with a durable lifetime along with the nature of modularity and shorter commissioning time compared to other available energy sources. To clinch the tracking of maximum power Mpp, Perturb, and Observe algorithm is preferred. Matching the load impedance with the PV panel is ensured by employing a Boost converter topology where the duty cycle is adjustable. The system was comprised of a solar module, DC-DC Boost converter, and a resistive load. The system was designed, and performances were evaluated through simulation using PSIM software. Later the parameters were verified by experimental conditions using a solar panel of the exact specifications, and some data were obtained close to the simulated data.
