I. INTRODUCTION
Primary and secondary batteries are used for low power devices. Primary batteries are non rechargeable and it is much cheaper. Secondary batteries are rechargeable which is used in mobile phones. A diode is connected between the solar PV module and DC-DC boost converter in order to avoid the discharge of batteries at null or low irradiance.
The extracted voltage and current of PV is found to calculate the power of PV module. This is applied to low power PV module less than 1W. The voltage at which the maximum power occurs is called the maximum power point (MPP). An MPPT includes in a charge controller used for extracting maximum available power from PV module. Perturb and Observe (P&O) tracking algorithm is used for its flexibility and simple construction. The major drawback of P&O algorithm is not determines when it actually reached its MPP under steady state operation as the output power oscillates around the MPP.
High performance MPPT includes pulse width modulation (PWM) used in large scale PV module, whereas low performance MPPT includes pulse frequency modulation (PFM) used in small scale PV module. PFM is used instead of PWM to attain better efficiency at low power levels. PWM continuously activate the switches of the converter at a fixed frequency whereas PFM adjusts the switching activity of the available power. Higher ripple current can be produced for the frequency modulation which reduces the efficiency. To reduce this problem current limiter is used for higher switching frequency.
The power is obtained from PV module as light energy is converted into electrical energy. The power consumption ranges in maximum power point tracker in subwatts.
