Photovoltaic Battery Charger with Sun Tracking

Type

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

Original Abstract

This paper describes the design of a photovoltaic battery charger. The charger can track the sun and tilt the panel in azimuth and elevation. The device includes an Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) regulator to maximise the energy from the photovoltaic panel. This photovoltaic charger is designed for Li-ion batteries and is equipped with appropriate battery protection. The system is battery-powered and therefore energy self-sufficient. Another purpose of the device is to measure accurate data for further processing. It will measure the energy consumption required for its operation and the energy produced by the photovoltaic panel. The device communicates wirelessly via Wi-Fi and sends the measured data to the Thingspeak server.
