This research presents the performance analysis of a buck-boost converter in a
solar power generation system. The buck-boost converter is a crucial component
in photovoltaic systems as it ensures efficient power transfer between the solar
panel and the load. The aim of this study is to evaluate the buck-boost converter's
performance in terms of efficiency, voltage regulation, and power quality. The
analysis includes simulations and experimental tests conducted on a small-scale
solar power generation system. The obtained results from both simulations and
experiments are compared to determine the converter's performance under various
operating conditions. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding
of the behavior of the buck-boost converter in solar power generation systems and
provide insights for its optimization. The research emphasizes the importance of
proper design and control parameters to achieve optimal performance and
maximize solar energy utilization. The buck-boost converter module used in the
study achieved an average efficiency of 72.9%, a maximum output voltage of 40
volts, and a maximum output current of 4 amperes.
