Abstract:

In this paper, we presents the utilization of a RTOS (real time operating system) for control of photovoltaic power using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control mechanism. First we analyzed the photovoltaic module using Matlab platform and Arduino platform. For the main aim of the paper for the boost converter of PV is to be used along with a Maximum Power Point Tracking control mechanism for solar plates. The MPPT control mechanism is responsible for extracting the maximum possible power from the photovoltaic system and which is feed it to the load via the boost converter, which steps up the voltage to required magnitude. The main purpose of this system will be to track the sun and analysis the maximum power point of the photovoltaic module. So In this way we can be check the maximum possible power from the photovoltaic. The algorithms is utilized for MPPT mechanism. Which are generalized in algorithms and this are easy to model or use as a code. The algorithms are written in m files of MATLAB platform and utilized in simulation purpose using GUI unit and control the solar plates using Arduino.
