Abstract: This paper presents closed loop voltage controlled solar powered boost converter. The major issue in the solar powered boost converter is to deliver a constant voltage to the load irrespective of the changing climatic conditions namely irradiance and temperature. The need of the hour is to deliver a constant voltage to the grid irrespective of the variation in solar insolation. The boost converter with the input voltage of 24 V and output voltage of 48 V is designed. A simple PI controller is used to maintain the output voltage of boost converter constant. The performance of the proposed system is compared with solar powered boost converter without voltage controller. All the investigations are carried using MATLAB. The results obtained are presented.
