Abstract
Solar energy will always be available, but harnessing its power may be difficult since it is intermittent. Therefore, a technology that integrates systems is necessary to satisfy the load requirement. The integration of the system is referred to as a converter, and it has an algorithm that can be educated according to the requirements of the final product. The perturb and observe (P&O) technique is used in this work due to the fact that it is simple to implement and has gained widespread recognition in the industry. This study’s objective is to construct a step voltage controller and a step-duty P&O maximum point tracking controller-based DC-to-DC boost converter, respectively, and then make a comparison between the two. In this study, a step voltage controller and step-duty controller-based DC-to-DC boost converter are used to develop and evaluate the performance of the various components under a variety of different climatic circumstances. In order to assess the efficiency of the system, it is also important to make a comparison between the oscillations in load power and the amount of time it takes for the circumstances to settle. MATLAB Simulink and coding are used in order to evaluate the system while taking into consideration the circumstances of India’s changing temperature and the intensity of the sun’s radiation.
