PV-12V 100W Buck Convertor Overview
Designed, simulated (on PLECS) and iterated on a PV Panel input to 12V output Buck converter and wrote an MPPT Algorithm and achieved efficiencies over 97% on all operating points.
The PV-12V 100W Buck Converter project involves designing a buck converter that steps down the voltage from a photovoltaic (PV) panel to a stable 12V output. The project includes the development of a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to optimize the efficiency of the power conversion process.
