A low cost solar energy converter for isolated load/ or battery charging

Abstract

As the world has become more concerned about the impacts and effects of carbon emission. Therefore, renewable energy is in demand in substituting the burning of fossil fuel and coal. More researches have been done for the past decade of years to improve the efficiency of renewable energy, such as solar energy, wind energy, etc. This report mainly focuses on the modelling of a low-cost PV system converter for isolated load and battery charging. Solar panels are good alternative energy sources as it is vulnerable, to cut down the cost a low-cost DC-DC converter will be used. This report will include the literature research, methodology, developing of the converter and controller prototype model and assessed on the isolated load and also for battery charging.
