Abstract

The aim of this paper is the determination of electrical performance of photovoltatic power system connected with a predesigned Dc chopper (DCC), which is built in the solar energy laboratory of our electrical department. Mathematical model is built up to define the system operation Optimum limits of chopping frequency are determined. The effect of load and insolation level change upon the performance of solar cells array (SCA) are investigated.
