Abstract
This paper describes the performance of DC-DC converters for buoy such as buck, boost, and buck-boost. The operating characteristic and charging efficiency with battery, which has a considerable properties about converters with PV(photovoltaic) system, is analyzed in this paper. It is performed by using the MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracker) algorithm The basic equations of switching operation for converter are described, and the equations are analyzed with according to switch state. Whereas this analysis is directed toward the selection of converter for buoy, it also provides the insight into the behaviour of converter and performance of the proposed algorithm Finally, the suitable DC-DC converter is proposed for buoy, and the characteristic experiment is performed with the buck converter.
