Development of Boost Converter System with Solar Charging Controller for Electrical Equipment

There are numerous DC to DC energy alteration utilizations where the origin voltage needs to be transformed to a larger resulting voltage. Boost converters utilization includes energy equipment for semiconductor manufacturing supplies, ultrasound instruments, X-ray devices, solar systems, and mercury ion motors. Notably, this type of converter is used to step up the photovoltaic generator's voltage to the required load voltage in solar systems. Hence, this study's principal interest is to form and compose a boost converter and a solar charging controller circuit. This system aims to change the uncontrolled input of DC to a regulated output of DC with the wanted level of voltage. There are three critical procedures involved to produce a boost converter. The first process was to design. Next was to simulate, and the final process was to construct the boost converter and a solar charging controller circuit. The operational frequency was configured at 20 kHz, and a duty cycle of 50% was employed. In this study, the OrCAD PSpice, Multisim, and Proteus software environments were used to simulate the develop the circuit to obtain results. Every parameter value was obtained from the hardware. The values obtained were compared with the calculation, simulation, and hardware results from the boost converter circuit as a validation procedure.
