Battery Charging Application Thorough PVA and MPPT Controller with Voltage Regulation

Abstract

In this paper a PVA is used to charge the battery through MPPT controlled booster converter. The charging characteristics of the battery are observed with different solar irradiations. The MPPT algorithm used to control the DC-DC booster converter is popular P&O method. The modelling of PVA with MPPT algorithm and required mathematical calculations are proposed in this paper. The power output of PVA with respect to solar irradiation is observed in a comparison with SOC of the battery. All graphs are plotted using MATLAB Simulink GUI environment with time reference with variable parameters.
