In distributed generation, the existing systems involve fixed roof top solar panels for commercial and residential buildings. During conditions of disasters or in primitive villages, a great way to use the solar energy for electricity is portable solar generator setup. It replaces the conventional types of generators like fuel type and wind mill type generators which are heavy, complex requiring run wires or drill holes in the roof. In addition it offers easy movement to a new recreational vehicle used in field trips, camps etc. Hence, a new economic based portable solar generator unit is designed and implemented for the need of community. A PV system generates intermittent power and is variable in nature. In order to effectively harvest greatest amount of power from a PV system, a Boost converter that is under the direction of the Perturb & Observe (P&O) algorithm is required. Proposed Portable Solar Power Generation Unit (PSPGU) is able to produce a power of 120W. In addition to it a 36Ah battery is implemented for backup power and for storing the excess power. To speed up charging and preserve batteries, a solar charge controller is employed. With the advent of an ideal energy scaling system and compact design, portable solar generators significantly lower installation costs. The solar generator's components may be easily purchased from local markets, thus lowering the development costs and making it suitable for commercialization. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
