Dash %J Annals of Dunarea de Jos %D 2010 %I Universitatea Dunarea de Jos %X The solar photovoltaic power has received great attention and experienced impressive progress in the countries all over the world in recent years because of more and more serious energy crisis and environmental pollution. This paper proposes a Embedded controlled boost converter for solar installation system. Boost converter system is simulated using Matlab and it is implemented using embedded controller. The simulation and experimental results of this system are presented and compared. This converter has advantages like improved power factor, fast response and reduced hardware. %K Embedded controller %K Boost converter %K Solar cells %K PV cells %U http://www.ann.ugal.ro/eeai/archives/2010/Paper_5V1_KALIRASU_p29-33.pdf
