초록
In this paper, a simplified maximum power point tracking technique for the solar charger is presented. Main advantages of the proposed charger include low cost and optimized charge time. The maximum power point tracking method is used to deliver the maximum power from PV array to the battery thereby reducing the charge time. Moreover, the proposed technique which tracks the maximum power point by adjusting output current helps reduce the quantity of required number of sensors for the charger. The experimental protype was implemented by using an 80W PV array, a buck converter and a digital signal processor to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.
