DESIGN AND SIMULATING TWO INPUT CONVERTER AND TESTING THE PV PANEL PSPICE MODEL

This paper deals with the design and simulation of two input converter. The first input is a photovoltaic module and the other is a battery. The photovoltaic module was represented as the equivalent circuits implemented in ORCAD PSPICE program; the use of equivalent circuit makes it possible to investigate the characteristics of a PV module. The waveforms obtained from transient simulation of buck converter for different modes of operation boundary, continuous and discontinuous are presented. The results of the converter simulation with PV model show a good agreement to that measured by battery. Indexterms:DC-DC Converter, multiple input, PV module, PSPICE.
