When a DC/DC converter is used to control the power on the main bus of a spacecraft it needs to comply with highly demanding requirements from the dynamic point of view. Hence, converters with very good dynamic performance, i.e. with no zero on the right-half plane are typically used. The conventional boost converter has not been used in European space applications mainly because of its poor dynamics...
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms control power-electronic circuits employed in photovoltaic (PV) - energy systems to maximize the energy harvested over all ambient conditions. Irrespective of algorithm utilized, there are likely to be operating conditions under which MPPT can not be realized. This phenomenon is explored in the context of a boost converter and a generalized dc load. Experimental...
