Abstract :
Power amplifier suitable for booster of small-size nonlinear power source such as photovoltaic (PV) cells is presented. The amplifier is developed to simulate large size of nonlinear power source and is utilized to examine various PV power systems. The amplifier is simple and compact to carry. Principle of PV cell booster with the amplifier is described. Prototype of the amplifier utilized as PV cell booster is built and tested to confirm the effectiveness of the amplifier.
