What is it about?

This work develops a modified Maximum Power Point Tracking controller as the automotive and aeronautical applications are developed. According to ISO26262 and DO-178C respectively. Therefore, the V-cycle development process has been followed. That means that our controller will be validated using Model in the loop/Software in the loop/ Processor in the loop tests. Hence, this works can be used as a reference to integrate the photovoltaic energy in automotive or aeronautical fields. In addition, Processor in the loop test presented in this work can be used as a low-cost solution to test the hardware implementation of MPPT algorithms.

Why is it important?

The paper gives the blueprint to generate an embedded software of MPPT algorithm following the aeronautical or automotive development process.

Perspectives

So by using these kinds of tests, we took advantage of safety level integrated in automotive and aeronautical embedded system, and note that by using this work, the MPPT system can be integrated in the aeronautical area. Moreover, the PIL test can be used as a low-cost solution to test the hardware implementation of MPPT algorithms, as well as the control of renewable energy and power electronic systems.
