Abstract

The work here reported is the result of an analytic and experimental investigation on the use of the optimum topology dc-to-dc switching converter (Cuk converter) in the development of panel-to- -accumulator interfaces. As a result a CMOS digital design of a maximum power point tracker acting on a Cuk-type PWM shunt regulator is presented. The results reported in the paper can contribute to better design this Kind of interfaces in medium-low power solar plants.
