Abstract

Electricity is an important part of a person’s quality of life. It also helps communities provide services like health care and education and makes it possible for businesses to operate in remote areas. This paper describes the load-demand-based design of a solar photovoltaic system for a remote house, and instead of using the traditional AC system, the power distribution system is designed around DC by replacing the inverter with DC-DC converter. This converter boosts a single voltage input, 12 V, to three different output voltages, 200, 40, and 30 V, with various magnitudes, conversion ratios, and polarities. The 200 V is for high-power appliances, 40 and 30 V DC are for low power devices. The simulation was executed on the MATLAB/ SIMULINK platform, and the results were presented.
