Design and Implementation of Solar Charge Controller with P&O MPPT for Light-Fishing in Ujung Pangkah, Gresik

Abstract

Bagan tancap is a conventional fishing using diesel as its main source. This conventional method needs to be replaced with an eco-friendly and easy to use system, namely solar panels. The solar panels power is just limited by time so the stability of the system is poorly maintained that needs to be a battery as a storage of energy to improve system stability. However, the power that is not optimal causes the charging battery to take longer and not be constant with periods of weather and irradiation coditions. The charging battery without MPPT it tends not to be optimal because the solar panel does not operate at its maximum value. MPPT with perturb and observe algorithms can maximize power on solar cells with tracking speeds that depend on the response speed of the converter. While boost coverter has the ability to maintain potential differences that are tailored to the battery specifications and keep the current and voltage ripple values relatively small. For this reason, this final project will design and implement solar charge controller equipped with MPPT P & O (Perturb and Observe) and boost converter, this method can maximize the power of the solar panel by 97.84% with a faster charging time for 27 minutes.Keywords—Light Fishing, MPPT, Perturb and Observe, Solar Charge Controller

Modelling and Simulation of Perturb and Observe MPPT Algorithm Based on The PI Controller for Photovoltaic System

“…The MPPT method compares the panel output and battery voltage. Then, an algorithm is utilized for estimating the absolute extreme power that the solar system can produce [10,14]. There are two groups that MPPT algorithms can be divided into: traditional algorithms such as perturb and observe (P&O), incremental conductance (IC), and fractional short circuit current with fractional open circuit voltage, while the second group involves modern algorithms such as the artificial neural network (ANN) and metaheuristic with fuzzy logic [6,10].…”

“…However, monocrystalline silicon cells may achieve up to 15percent efficiency. As a result, during irradiance variation, solar sheet systems need to be tuned to operate at extreme power generation [14]. The perturb and observe MPPT approach is applied in this study to maintain the MPP point for changing degrees of radiation.…”
