PV Fed conversion using existing UPS (P-0376) (MFN 8562)

Abstract

The world today we live in, is facing problems of global warming and energy crisis due to increase in number of emission emitting automobiles, new industrial estates etc. The problems encountered by our planet earth can be solved by use of renewable energy like solar, wind, hydel energy etc. Solar energy has become the most famous among the renewable, so different techniques are used for harnessing its maximum energy. Similarly, the use of uninterruptible power supply [UPS] is also increasing due to rise of energy crisis and the existing UPS takes grid supply for charging batteries resulting in high consumer electricity bills. This thesis will provide information of how to effectively harness solar energy using maximum power point tracking [MPPT] method from photovoltaic [PV] panels. Beside this, the thesis will also provide information of how to install solar charge control module for the charging of UPS batteries and taking grid as backup supply during unavailability of solar energy
