Abstract

This paper presents a design and simulation of DC/DC boost converter. This system has a nonlinear dynamic behavior, as it work in switch-mode. Moreover, it is exposed to significant variations which may take this system away from nominal conditions, due to changes on the load or on the line voltage at the input. The input usually is obtained by PV array and therefore the design and simulation in this paper covers the whole range of radiations and temperature. In this paper we analyze the equations of a boost converter and propose a design components and simulation of DC/DC boost converter. This work is applied to photovoltaic system for tracking the point of maximum power.
