  ABSTRACT: In this paper, a simple Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based Maximum Power Pointer Tracking (MPPT) control and Inverter Control is presented for solar energy applications, especially photovoltaic and wind energy systems. The proposed MPPT controlled boost converter is able to reduce the inrush current and the overshoot of the output voltage of the system. Details of the proposed Maltab-Simulink based MPPT and Inverter Control are shown and implemented using a DSP. The proposed system is analyzed and simulated for verification. To validate the system, a 100 W prototype test-bed is built and tested. The results show that the proposed system can be applicable for solar energy applications.
