Abstract

This paper presents the control of boost converter using MPPT techniques in photovoltaic system. The short circuit current technique is characterized by its simplicity and easily realized. The technique is based on the measure of the short circuit current of panel considered as a reference, and the comparison with the real current is helpful to create the control pulse of the DC/DC converter. We realize the Boost converter using IGBT 'IRGPC60' transistor protected by RCD (Resistance, Capacitor and Diode) circuit. The galvanic isolation is achieved by photo coupler CNY18. Experimental results are measured using Dspace interface board to verify the validity of the presented technique.
