Performance Analysis of Fabricated Buck-Boost MPPT Charge Controller

This paper presents a performance analysis of a MPPT charge controller designed for two different atmospheric conditions, i.e., clear sky day and cloudy day. The experiments are also performed in different atmospheric conditions such as partial cloudy day and fully cloudy day. The developed power electronic converter works as buck and boost regulator with MPPT algorithm. The comparative results shows, the MPPT charge controller can extract 91% more energy from Solar Photovoltaic power plant compare to without an MPPT charge controller. The experimental results are satisfactory and demonstrate that developed charge controller is better and cost-effective.
