DC To DC Converter in Maximum Power Point Tracker

V.C. Kotak, Preti Tyagi

The DC/DC converters are widely used in photovoltaic generating systems as an interface between the photovoltaic panel and the load, allowing the follow-up of the maximum power point (MPP).To extract the maximum power, you must adjust the load to match the current and voltage of the solar panel. The converter must be designed to be connected directly to the photovoltaic panel and perform operation to search the maximum power point (MPPT). DC/DC converters together with maximum power point tracking systems (MPPT) are used to avoid these losses.
