New solar cell power supply system using a boost type bidirectional dc-dc converter
Abstract
New solar cell power supply system is presented, in which the boost type bidirectional dc-dc converter and the simple control circuit with a small monitor solar cell are employed to track the maximum power point of the solar array. It is confirmed by the experiment that the new system has the sufficiently precise tracking operation performance and the satisfactorily high power efficiency. Also, a comparison of the power efficiencies is made with theoretically as well as experimentally on the new and the conventional solar cell power supply systems. As a result, it is revealed that the new system is superior to the conventional one in the power efficiency.
