Boost DC–DC Converter with MPPT for PV Application

The DC/DC converters are widely used in photovoltaic generation systems as interfaces between the photovoltaic panels and the load, enabling the maximum power point (MPP) follow-up. To extract the maximum power, it is necessary to adjust the load to match the current and voltage of the solar panel. The converter must be designed to be directly connected to the photovoltaic panel and perform operations to search for the maximum power point (MPPT). DC/DC converters, together with maximum power point tracking systems (MPPT), are used to avoid these losses.
