MPPT based ASBC controller and solar panel monitoring system

Abstract

The simulation work presented in this paper was carried out on microcontroller based Automated Solar Battery Charge Controller (ASBCC) for controlling the overcharging and deep discharging of a battery. The purpose of ASBCC is switching with help of programmed controller. Battery Charge Circuit (BCC) regulates the solar power to charge the battery to maximum specific level. Equipment's monitoring has always been essential. Software based Graphical User Interface (GUI) shows the digital values of output voltage, current, temperature and power of solar panel and battery charged status. These data is stored into the computer data base. GUI also indicates battery charging, discharging and load connected to panel. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is used to extract the maximum power from Solar panel and force the panel to operate at required power.
