Study and Design of an Adaptator Stage to Extract Maximum Power from a PV Module

This work focuses on designing of an adaptator stage aimed at extracting the maximum power P
MPP
generated by a photovoltaic module, regardless of varying climatic conditions like temperature and irradiance. it is enclosed within a casing and comprises a boost converter controled by microcontroller unit. This configuration enables the implementation of various control algorithms (maximum power point tracking, or MPPT). These algorithms share common input parameters, as the module voltage V
