Design and develop DC-DC converter for PV solar system

Abstract

The project presents the design and develop of a Boost converter having the following specification: 𝑉𝑖𝑛 = 8V, 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 12V, 𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 50 W, and ripple less than 1% peak to peak output voltage. The PSIM software are simulating for an ideal boost converter in open loop. The switching frequency is 50 kHz and the controller is based on IC 555 timer Continued to the simulation, a hardware prototype of a boost converter was constructed, tested and get the result.
