Zeta Converter Design for Solar Power Generation System with Controller Using Arduino Microcontroller

Abstract

Solar power plants (PLTS) are a promising solution to meet the need for clean and sustainable energy. One type of efficient power converter used in PLTS to regulate the output voltage of solar panels is the Zeta Converter. In this study, we propose a Zeta converter design integrated with an Arduino microcontroller to improve the performance and control of the PLTS system. The system control uses the pulse-width modulation (PWM) control method controlled by the Arduino microcontroller. This article details the design and implementation of a Zeta converter using an Arduino microcontroller, as well as analyzing system performance based on simulation and testing results. The use of solar energy as a renewable electricity source is growing as part of an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. An efficient Zeta converter is one alternative that can be applied in a PLTS system. In this study, we present the design of a Zeta converter controlled by an Arduino microcontroller to maximize the utilization of solar energy and regulate the output voltage according to the required load. This article discusses the design and implementation of a Zeta converter using an Arduino microcontroller, as well as analyzing system performance based on simulation and testing results.
