DESIGN AND SIMULATING TWO INPUT CONVERTER AND TESTING THE PV PANEL PSPICEMODEL

Abstract

This paper deals with the design and simulation of two input converter. The first input is aphotovoltaic module and the other is a battery. The photovoltaic module was represented as theequivalent circuits implemented in ORCAD PSPICE program; the use of equivalent circuit makes itpossible to investigate the characteristics of a PV module. The waveforms obtained from transientsimulation of buck converter for different modes of operation boundary, continuous anddiscontinuous are presented. The results of the converter simulation with PV model show a goodagreement to that measured by battery.
