Abstract
Now-a-days, renewable energies are becoming very attractive; because of lack of conventional energy sources. Solar energy is one of the all time freely available renewable source and also it is eco-friendly. Solar energy can be extracted using solar panels and it converts the solar radiation into electrical energy. A high step up converter is used to boost up the dc output voltage produced by the solar panels because most of the renewable sources produce minimum voltage and it is not sufficient to drive any practical loads. In this paper a high efficiency step up converter is designed to improve the Dc voltage produced by the PV panels. PID based MPPT controller is used to maintain constant voltage which is fed to the high step up converter even in the presence of variations in solar radiation. The simulation is done in MATLAB. In this system the non linearity of the solar energy is tracked by using MPPT controller. PID controller based MPPT controller assures fast system settling while comparing with PI controller based MPPT controller. The simulation results assure the regulation of high step up converter is good and it can be used for high voltage DC applications.
