Design and building of sepie DC-DC converter devoted to Kaneka GSA-60 PV panels

This document is a study of a Sepic DC-DC converter topology devoted to photovoltaic generator, type Kaneka GSA-60, in order to enhance its performance against sudden variations in weather conditions. This work shows the enhancements realized with this converter by various simulations under MATLAB-SIMULINK, the adapted approach for the design phase under Porteus ISIS software and finally the results of experimental tests of the developed. The Speic dispositive is controlled with an Arduino Board by generating different duty cycle values for PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals to simulate different operating conditions.
