Renewable energies are classified according to exploitable resources into hydroelectric, wind, solar, hydrogen, biomass, geothermal, and oceanic. The application of power electronics in conversion processes is essential to increase energy transformation efficiency. Therefore, maximum power transfer is clearly affected by the type of converter used. In solar photovoltaic systems, there are different architectures studied for the analysis of maximum power transfer in converters according to the literature reviewed. In this research, a step-up converter is implemented as a power interface between the 340W Amerisolar polycrystalline photovoltaic panel generation system and a 100Ω resistive load applied with a programmable constant resistance load as an energy conversion plant or process to track the maximum power point by applying algorithms with a Raspberry Pi 5 control device. The methodology links three stages. The first was the characterisation of the photovoltaic solar panel system, the second was the tracking of the maximum power point using the perturbation and observation (P&O) algorithm simulated with MATLAB/Simulink to obtain the PV and VI performance curves. In the third stage, a system was implemented that allows the application of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms with a data acquisition system for irradiance, temperature, current, and voltage for the necessary feedback. Energy conversion requires high switching frequencies and slower algorithm updates according to changes in irradiance in Norte de Santander, to this end, it is feasible to use embedded systems together with high-speed MOSFETs, which allow for increased conversion efficiency and maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
