Abstract :
A comparative analysis between a DC power transformer and a DC power gyrator on equal bases of operation is presented. Both approaches are used to solve the problem of maximum power transference from a PV panel to a DC load. An outdoor measurements system has been implemented and comparative experiments have been carried out during six hours. Results show that both approaches are practically equivalent in terms of efficiency
