Studi Kinerja Buck-Boost Converter untuk Perolehan Daya Maksimum pada Penggunaan Solar Panel

Abstract

Electrical energy is energy that is needed to support human life. Currently, energy needs in Indonesia continue to increase due to population growth, the economy and energy consumption which has resulted in an increase in electrical energy consumption. To overcome this problem, various breakthroughs need to be made by various parties. One of the breakthroughs that can be made is the use of renewable energy. One of the largest renewable energies is solar energy. Based on the reality found in the field, the author is interested in testing the Buck-Boost Converter module on the effectiveness and efficiency of the battery charging system in solar energy systems. In this research, the method used is Research and Development (R&D) level 2. Research and development (R&D) level 2 is research that does not create product designs through research, but only validates or tests the effectiveness and efficiency of existing products. In order to obtain consistent data, testing was carried out several times using experimental research methods. Testing was carried out by testing the solar module, testing the voltage stabilizer with a buck-boost converter and testing battery charging at the source from the solar paner with buck-boost to obtain maximum power. In this research, the buck-boost converter module was effectively used to stabilize the battery charging voltage in the solar energy system so that a maximum input power of 28,34 occurred at 09:50 while the maximum output power was 16,56 which occurred at 10:00.
