Design of FPGA based open circuit voltage MPPT charge controller for solar PV system

The main objective of this paper is implementation of open circuit voltage MPPT controller for solar PV System based on FPGA. MPPT controllers are plays a major role in solar PV system due to its advantage like increases efficiency by tracking maximum power from the panel under all conditions. Among all other existing methods open circuit method is one of the simplest method to draw maximum power. In case of fractional voltage type MMPT utilizes the concept of solar module voltage at maximum power condition is follows the linear relation with open circuit voltage under different temperature and insulation conditions. In this paper, mathematical modeling of solar module and design of DC-DC converter and small signal analysis of charge controller are presented. © 2013 IEEE.
