How to find the references of the example "Stand-Alone Solar PV DC Power System with Battery Backup"

Hi Team,

I was wondering how the MATLAB team collected the formulas in the example "Stand-Alone Solar PV DC Power System with Battery Backup". In particular, I am looking for the references of "MPPT boost converter controller design" in the script. Would you please share the related references?

Hey Amir,

I understand that you want reference for the implementation of “MPPT boost converter controller” design which you can find in the MathWorks example, “Stand-Alone Solar PV DC Power System with Battery Backup”.

The integration of the controller design can be found in the “Stand-Alone Solar PV DC Power System with Battery Backup” script from line 348 to 373. For opening the script execute the command “ee_solar_standalone_acsystem_withbatterybackup” in the MATLAB command window.

I am further listing down the references that will help you understand the implementation of “maximum power point tracking (MPPT) boost” controller:

• Boost controller documentation link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023a/sps/ref/boostconverter.html
• Link to MATLAB File Exchange that explains ‘boost’ converter design for MPPT applications with other references as well: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/68276-boost-converter-design-for-mppt-application

Hope the given references would help you understand the design.
