Abstract :
In this paper the design criteria for a Maximun Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller of a dc-dc converter for photovoltaic (PV) applications are presented. The switching converter matches a single panel with a battery and performs the maximum power point tracking at the battery´s terminals instead that at the panel´s output. Comparisons among analytic results, simulations and experimental measurements on a laboratory prototype are presented and discussed.
