Design and Implementation of Digital Charger Based on Buck Converter and MPPT Technology

Abstract:

Due to global environmental deterioration, photovoltaic (PV) system (i.e., solar panels) is becoming more common as a renewable energy source. So the rational use of renewable energy put forward higher requirements. This article will explain how to combine Buck converter and MPPT technology to optimize the process of solar panels while charging the battery. The article will analyze the working states of Buck converter. The combination of the application of MPPT technology and Buck converter will be clarified.
