Abstract: This paper shows a prototype of a standalone PV system that is used to power a DC motor using a high step up LUO converter. LUO Converter is used for this conversion, because it satisfies larger output range, high power density, low inrush current etc. Solar energy is one of the clean energy sources without polluting the environment. The PV module can feed power to the system through a DC-DC converter (LUO Converter). A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control technique is required for the PV system to operate the maximum power point. This project uses the P&O (perturb and observe) algorithm for the maximum power extraction. The MATLab simulation of the hardware is also carried out giving the output results. The focus of this paper is to power a separately excited DC motor with the help of PV panel (standalone system) using a LUO converter. The standalone system used here can be very beneficial for places where grids cannot be connected.
