Özet
In this study, a stand-alone photovoltaic power system was designed and implemented to operate residential ac-powered appliances such as fluorescent lambs, fans etc. Sun-tracker is implemented for improved efficiency of the system by keeping the solar module perpendicular to the sun's incoming rays. The charge method is realized with closed-loop current control of buck-boost dc-dc converter. The proposed system also uses a voltage source type PWM inverter to convert DC voltage from battery storage to supply AC loads. In the PWM method used, selected harmonies are eliminated with the smallest number of switching and an improvement in the system efficiency by reducing switching losses and providing ease of filtering on the inverter output is obtained. Charge controller and PWM inverter systems have been realized by using PIC16F873 microcontrollers. An experimental system was implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system. Simulation and experimental results are given to verify the system's efficiency. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
