Abstract
In order to overcome the shortcomings such as
extended time and high cost of using solar cells to
experiment, this paper successfully used a DC power supply
and a variable resistor to simulate the solar cells output
characteristic curves. Operating principles, equivalent
circuits, and illustrative example in terms of computer
simulation are presented in order to validate the approach.
This paper deals the design of DC/DC converter which can
make voltage maintained at a specified value. MATLAB
simulation for Open--loop and Closed--loop controlled Buck
converter for the solar cells is discussed and the results are
presented.
