MPPT Charge Controller Part 1

This document provides an overview of an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller project in 3 parts: 1. It introduces MPPT charge controllers and how they can more efficiently convert power from solar panels compared to traditional PWM controllers. 2. It describes the schematic diagram of the MPPT charge controller, which uses a SEPIC topology buck-boost converter with a UC3843 PWM controller IC to output variable voltage up to 4A at 24V from an input of 12-27V. 3. It discusses testing the prototype MPPT charge controller, which was able to power 3 x 22W bulbs from a 10V or higher input, and solicits feedback on improving efficiency below

MPPT Charge Controller Part 1

by AviPrink

As We Know that solar energy will be future of all impedance Power to Low So MPPT based chargers
electronics,But using solar energy efficiently we need can be any Buck Boost Converter , Buck Converter
a bit complicated circuitry , As we know about Carry High Conversion Efficiency.
Traditional PWM based Solar charger it is easy to
built as well as low cost but it wastes lots of energy So We Are Going to Make A buck And boost
as heat and Does,t Convert High Impedance Power converter for MPPT.
into Lower , In other MPPT Can Convert high

Step 1: Working of MPPT

Main feature of MPPT is that we utilize every bit of power from solar panel to charge battery and drive load,
Generally buck boost converter can either buck or boost input voltages so it can be Helpful in extreme or low
sunlight,

Step 2: Schematic Diagram

This Module is Based on Current mode PWM power output but it saturates Mosfet.
cuntroller UC3843 this is a very famous PWM
controller IC. Core-Most Tricky part of this converter is its to make
Transformer. I used an N87 core From Computer
The power supply accepts 13 to 27 volts and PSU, I don't know the exact material. It is wound in
produces Variable Output. The topology is SEPIC bifilar fashion. I used Electrical Tape to add a gap
(single-ended primary inductance converter), the between the two halves of Transformer to maintain
advantage being the ability to convert up or down with Air Gap, and put a spot of epoxy in it to keep it from

converter can be used for solar charging module. made by many manufacturers using slightly different
SEPIC topology uses two inductors, but if you couple numbering systems. It comes in an 8 pin DIP
them your efficiency goes up. package,

Features- This converter is can provide output upto 4 Note- Use Good Quality Parts Eg- Capacitor, Mosfet,
Amps At 24v At Input of 12volt. This module is short Shotky Diode this ensures Good Efficiency Of
circuit protected (0.01 ohm ) Resistor is responsible converter.

Step 3: Testing

You Can Also Watch Video For Detailed Info It is in English sub-title .

It Can Drive 3x22 watt bulb at full brightness.

Cons- It can't operate efficiently below 10v. We will try to solve it in up coming project if you have any idea about it
you can share it with us.
