Abstract :
In this paper the design, implementation and tests of a DC-DC Buck converter is detailed. This converter operates in the maximum power point thanks to an MPPT algorithm implemented in a DSP. The simulation of the converter is done in PSIM. Implementation and experimental results, validating the design, are shown.
