Photovoltaic battery charger with sliding mode control and charging current derivative limitation

In stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems, battery chargers are important to guarantee the energy supply when sunlight is not available. Such chargers need to track the maximum power point (MPPT) and limit the derivative of the batteries’ charging current to extend their lifetime. This paper proposes...
