A Maximum Power Point Tracker Optimized for Solar Powered Cars
1990
SAE Technical Paper Series
unpublished
The following is an efficiency study of a key component in a solar powered car: the maximum power point tracker (MPPT). An MPPT is necessary where power is delivered from solar cells to batteries. A design optimization for the tracker is crucial for its use in solar powered cars since these vehicles have a very limited amount of input power. Unfortunately, the power stage of a maximum power tracker, consisting of inductors, capacitors, diodes, and MOSFETs, may waste a small yet significant
