Abstract

Engineering is an application of Science and Technology and teaching methods of engineering students has to be innovative and it must be implemented through Problem Based Learning (PBL) to enhance the learning capability of the students. PBL approach acts as a bridge between theory and practice. In this paper, a step by step procedure of simulation of Photovoltaic (PV) inverter system is designed and this methodology is very useful to the engineering students. The Perturbation and Observation (P&O) based Maximum Power Point Technique (MPPT) algorithm has been examined for the tracking of maximum power from the PV panel. The modelling of the PV cell equation has been explained with step by step procedure. The performance of the boost converter has been verified through simulation results. The understanding level of the proposed approach has been analyzed through feedback forms and its educational benefits are also discussed.

Keywords
