Make a Simple Solar MPPT Charger Circuit at Home

How to Make a Solar MPPT Charger Circuit - Maximum Power Point Tracker Circuit

By: Alok kumar

Todat we are going to to learn how to make a simple but effective and cheap solar MPPT Charger circuit at home. Here MPPT stands for maximum power point tracker, which is an electronic charging system designed for optimizing the varying power output from a solar panel module such that the connected battery exploits the maximum available power from the solar panel.
The output from a solar panel is directly proportional to the degree of the incident sunlight, and also the ambient temperature. When the sun  rays are perpendicular to the solar panel, it generates the maximum amount of Power, and deteriorates as the angle shifts away from 90 degrees  The atmospheric temperature around the panel also affects the efficiency of the panel, whose power falls with increase in the atmospheric temperature.
Therefore we may conclude that when the sun rays are near to 90 degrees over the panel and when the temperature is around 30 degrees, the efficiency of the panel is maximum, Here the rate decreases as the above two parameters drift away from their rated values.

Make a Laptop Charger from a Car Battery -12 V DC Laptop Charger Circuit

By: Alok kumar

Todays post simply explains a simple circuit which can be used for charging a laptop while driving in car or some other vehicle or from a DC battery. The circuit works without using an inverter or inductors in its configuration.

The good thing about this circuit is that it does not rely on an inductor topology for the required actions, making the design vgyery simpler, and yet efficient and effective.

As most of us know a laptop iis powered by a DC potential from an in built Li-Ion battery just as our cell phones do.

Normally we use a AC to DC adapter for charging a laptop battery at homes and offices, these adapters or chargers are actually SMPS power supplies rated with the required and matching specifications of the laptop battery.

However the above power supply units work only with AC supplies, and in places where an AC outlet may be available. These units will not of any use or work in places where an AC source is not present such as in cars and other similar vehicles and electricity deprived areas. This extremely useful little circuit presented here will allow a laptop battery to be charged even from a DC source such yas a car or truck batteries (12Volt).

It is a very simple, useful, cheap, versatile and universal circuit which may be dimensioned for charging all types of laptops by little adjusting the relevant
components provided in the circuit. It's a simple plug and play charger circuit.

Normally most of the laptop chargers are rated at 19V 3.5Amps, however some may be rated at higher currents to facilitating fast charging.

The discussed circuit has a voltage adjustment features (via PWM-

Convert SMPS to solar battery charger circuit simple at home.

Convert any SMPS circuit to solar battery bank charger

By: Alok kumar

Today we are going to learn how to convert or make a simple SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) solar battery charger circuit easily at home just by simply slightly modifying any SMPS electronic power supply.

The post wi try to explains a very novel way of
using an ordinary SMPS unit for charging a battery bank via solar panels.

The method will result in an
extremely efficient, compact, lightweight and fast solar charging of the connected battery.

SMPS ( switched mode power supply) have become very common these days and we find them being used in the form of of low voltage DC units wherever needed. The best example is our cell phone chargers which are actually compact SMPS 5V DC chargers via 110v / 220v ac input.

Solar power is becomming cheap and environment friendly and also becomming popular these days and guys are constantly in look out for good options in the form of solar chargers having the most efficient and fast charging response.

Solar panels or PV devices are normally utilized for charging lead acid batteries which tends to takep relatively long hour for getting fully charged, and especially when the sunlight conditions are bad things start getting even more sluggish.

For solution to the above problem is rather for enabling quicker charging from solar panels, special MPPT (maximum power point tracking) based solar chargers have been developed which effectively monitor the solar panel maximum power point levels and generate the most efficient charging conditions for the connected battery or battery bank to it.

In this post we are going to finf most efficient way of charging our battery or battery bank through a solar panel.

As proposed in one of my previous Post, a switch mode based power supply (SMPS) is probably the best option for making it work as a solar charger circuit, so here we will learn how to make an smps based solar charger circuit.

Making an SMPS can be quite complex and might require considerable amount of time and knowledge for the implementations so here rather we will only focus on how to convert a ready made smps into an effective solar smps battery charger circuit quickly.

For this we will require the
following materials, assuming the battery to be charged is 12V rated: A ready made 120V or 220V to 12V SMPS unit having current ratinh equal to 1/5th of the battery AH which is to be charged for example if battery is of 12 v 100 Ah then 20 amp will be best selection.

Connect all Solar Panels in series making  total open circuit voltage equals around 100V. Then connect wires.

How to Proceed.

As we all know a normal mains SMPS may be rated with minimum of 85V to 100V input in order to provide the required output DC, let's assume it to be 12V, meaning for acquiring 12V it must be supplied with a minimum of 100V at the input terminal.

Keeping the above issue in mine we must select a solar panel which is able to produce approximately 100V to 220 volt any, for making the coverted SMPS work nice.

Since PV panels with such high voltage might not be available, we may opt for many low voltage solar panel connected in series for generating the above voltage. For instance you can go for 3nos. of 30V solar panels and connect them in series to get 90V from it, which might just do the job.

The above input supplied to the procured SMPS would generate the required 12V which may be directly attached to the battery for charging it efficiently.

However a 12V supply might not charge a 12V battery we need at least 14V

Ozone Air Water Sterilizer Circuit

How to make an Electronic Air  Water Food Sterlizer or Purifier circuit at home

By: Alok kumar

Ozone is a pale blue colored gas having a pungent smell or order (alike chlorine) with the chemical formula of O3. In the atmosphere ozone is produced due to the presence of Oxygen and strong UV rays or electrical discharges during thunder storms or lightnings.

This phenomenon produce ozone basically by knocking down the dioxide molecules (O2) which is present plentifully in the atmosphere, resulting in the reaction O2 → 2O. Where O is free nascent oxygen.

Then the resultant free radicals generated during above phenomenon as 2O collide around with each other forming  the ozone gas O3 . This process continues as long as the source which is lightning arcs or UV rays is present.

Here in this circuit we are using the property that by nature Ozone is a very strong oxidant even stronger than dioxides. This property of ozone is helpful in killing germs, parasites and other microorganisms which may be regarded as pests and hence is used as sterilizer for disinfecting or sterilize or purify Air, Water or Food.

However, the strong oxidizing property of ozone could be also harmful for humans and animals and could cause respiratory disorders if inhaled for longer periods of time inside a non-ventilated premise.

Intelligent Automatic Battery Carger circuit

How to Make the Intelligent Fully Automatic Fast, Efficient Battery Charger circuit at home.

By: Alok kumar

While i was searching for fully automatic battery charger or fast diehard battery charger what i found on google was only crap but nothing, I dont know either most of the people dont know what exactly fast battery charger is or they dont want to share that with public. Today i am going to explain How to make a intelligent fully automatic battery charger(6v 12v 48v or any) circuit.

First you should know that, we can not charge the lead acid batteries faster because Lead acid batteries are not designed to accept high current level continuously.

How fast charging is Done:

For charging the batteries faster we apply the full dose of  high current specified for that battery and when full charged automatically switch off the charging to prevent battery from overcharge. It works best for Li-ion batteries
.

The bottom line with Lead Acid batteries is that these can not be charged quickly unless a intelligent Automatic circuitary is incorporated.

Fast charging, It should be done in step wise mechanism means initially we charge using X1 rate and then gradually reducing the rate of charging to X1/10
as battery is getting charged we need to slow down the charging rate to prevent battery from damage and overheat. And when battery becomes full charged that need to autocut the charging operation.
