This paper presents the design and implementation of a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller for a 5 V, 1 W solar panel using an ATtiny24 microcontroller. A buck converter, controlled via PWM, adjusts the panel operating point to maximize power extraction. Voltage and current readings were taken using an analog setup. The microcontroller averages several ADC samples to get stable values. The perturb-and-observe method was used to control the PWM duty cycle up or down to improve the output power. The output power measured at the load was 900 mW. These results confirmed that the circuit was able to track the maximum power point under varying light conditions.

摘要

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller for a 5 V, 1 W solar panel using an ATtiny24 microcontroller. A buck converter, controlled via PWM, adjusts the panel operating point to maximize power extraction. Voltage and current readings were taken using an analog setup. The microcontroller averages several ADC samples to get stable values. The perturb-and-observe method was used to control the PWM duty cycle up or down to improve the output power. The output power measured at the load was 900 mW. These results confirmed that the circuit was able to track the maximum power point under varying light conditions.
