Development of DC-DC boost converter for solar electric system
Abstract
The main focus of this project is to design and construct a DC to DC boost type’s
converter which is one of the main parts in solar electric system. By using solar energy, it can reduce cost and save environment. In addition, it also to ensure that the output voltage
will be step up from 12 V to 24 V to make sure the effectiveness of the boost converter by
using small energy input to produce a larger energy output. The 12 V input voltage source
is from the battery storage equipment and the 24 V output voltages will be the input of the
inverter in solar electric system. Proteus software was used for designed. This software
requires student to learn and modifying the best design and ways to create and develop
electrical circuit, which is boost converter. Then, all the parameter values that obtained
from the hardware measurement are compared with the calculation estimation and the
circuit simulation for validation purposes. The result is obtained, recorded and checked
from the simulation whether the circuit is compatible and success.
