“…An MPPT system can be basically built with any type of DC/DC converter, but the most common are buck (Figure 2a) and BOOST (Figure 2b) converters operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) [1,12,16,17]. Those two types of converters are popular mostly because of their simplicity and high efficiency (above 90%) [17,18].…”

DC/DC converters are widely used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize the power drained from solar panels. As the power generated by a PV panel depends on the temperature and irradiance level, a converter needs to constantly modify its input resistance to remain at the maximum power point (MPP). The input resistance of a converter can be described by a simple equation that includes the converter load resistance and the duty cycle of the switching signal. The equation is sufficient for an ideal converter but can lead to incorrect results for a real converter, which naturally features some parasitic resistances. The goal of this study is to evaluate how the parasitic resistances of a converter influence its input resistance and if they are relevant in terms of MPPT system operation.
