Conversor CC-CC implementado com algoritmo MPPT para placas fotovoltaicas.

Abstract

The use of fossil fuels like coal and oil, including plants has increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere causing the greenhouse effect. New forms of power generation such as wind and solar is gaining great interest, therefore, do not pollute and do not cause significant environmental impact. The energy of sunlight is converted into electricity by the photovoltaic cells. So that we can extract the maximum board power, we use the MPPT algorithm that looks for this point by controlling the value of the duty cycle of a dc-dc converter. These cells produce low potencies and must be arranged to form a photovoltaic panel that may have higher potency. After studying the characteristics of the photovoltaic cell, the converter and the chosen algorithm is made the design and testing of a dc-dc converter for a photovoltaic plate.
