The paper presents the design of a system consisting of a solar panel with Single Input/Multiple Outputs (DC-DC) Buck Converter by using Simulink dialogue box tools in MATLAB software package for simulation the system. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique depending on Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm is used to control the output power of the converter and increase the efficiency of the system. The characteristics of the MSX-60 PV module is chosen in design of the system, whereas the electrical characteristics (P-V, I-V and P-I curves) for the module are achieved, that is affected by the solar radiation and temperature variations. The proposed design module has been found to be stable for any change in atmospheric temperature and solar radiation. The maximum power is achieved at voltage 17V and current 3.5A when using MPPT controller, and approximate results for multiple outputs voltages and current (9V:2A, 5V:1A, 2.2V:0.5A) are obtained. The proposed model is very useful for engineers, researchers and experts to design their systems which require a simple and accurate PV cells model.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are gaining importance increasingly as it directly converts solar radiation into electrical energy which is renewable and environment friendly. Where it has a numerous advantage, some disadvantages are also there like its dependency on environmental conditions. The power developed by solar panel decreases if it does not get uniform radiation. Sometimes due to nearby buildings, passing clouds etc. PV module might be partially shaded because of which power output of solar panel may get decrease this is called partial shading conditions. It causes significant reduction in the system power output. To overcome this, maximum power point-tracking under partial shading condition by continuous duty cycle variation schemes have been proposed, in which dc–dc boost converters are connected to PV module to enable maximum power extraction. In this paper a new method of Duty Sweep Maximum Power Point Tracking (DSMPPT) has been implanted, which is capable of tracking the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) in the presence of other local maxima. The proposed scheme tracks Maximum Power Point (MPP) by continuous variation of converter’s duty cycle without the use of costly components such as signal converters and microprocessors thereby increasing the compactness of the system.

<span>This paper presents the design of a Three Stages Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller for improving the charging/discharging control of the battery. In this research, Buck Converter is used to regulate the voltage from the Photovoltaic (PV) module to the required voltage. This research is limited to Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery for 12V system voltage. The charge control algorithm envisages controlling the charging and discharging action in all the three stages of battery charging, bulk, absorption, and float. The idea is to control the battery charging and discharging status until meeting the battery set-point. The set-point is limited to High Voltage Disconnect (HVD), Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) and Load Voltage Reconnect (LVR) to protect the battery from over-charging and deep-discharging. The results obtained demonstrate the good performance of the charge controller. With the application of the MPPT algorithm in the bulk stage, the time taken to get the battery to fully charged state becomes faster The regulation power from the converter to the inverter has performed well and the switching relay is managed to be controlled.</span>

Controlling the PV array to generate the maximum power at certain environment conditions, the efficiency of the PV generation system could be improved. Using control algorithms, the PV array can operate at the maximum power point. This self-optimization process is referred as Maximum power point tracking (MPPT). A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is a power electronic DC-DC converter inserted between the PV array and its load to achieve optimum matching. Researchers have studied and developed numerous methods and used many algorithms to track the Maximum power point of PV Module and extract maximum power using MPPT technique. This review article accumulates various algorithms through which MPPT could be attained and assists the researchers to understand the principle of their working. The paper also gives an idea to about less explored DC appliances and their viabilities in existing and proposed DC system.
