Design, construct, and demonstrate an open-loop PV power electronics system in which a dc-dc switching converter interfaces a PV panel to a deep-discharge 12 V battery. The project includes testing and modeling of the PV panel, design and testing of the dc-dc converter and its magnetics, and use of a modern microcontroller to drive the power MOSFET. Recommended prerequisites: ECEA 5700, ECEA 5701, and ECEA 5703.
