Concept description

This charge controller is mainly developed to test the following features:

  • Very compact and modular housing design for DIN rail mounting
  • Thermal performance and maximum heat dissipation via internal heat sinks
  • Performance of the internal OpAmp of the STM32G431 MCU for current measurement
  • Dump-load control for small wind turbines using the existing PV reverse blocking MOSFET

Features

  • Solar/Wind input terminal
    • Max. 80V (100V MOSFETs used)
    • DC/DC converter inductor current max. 20A
  • Battery output terminal
    • 10 V - 32 V (supporting 12 V and 24 V battery systems)
    • Max. current: 20A (limited by inductor current)
  • New STM32G431 ARM MCU with advanced digital power conversion features
  • Expandable via Olimex Universal Extension Connector (UEXT)
  • Only single LED as power indicator. Additional user interface can be included in separate PCB in front panel housing and connected via UEXT
  • CAN interface via RJ45 connectors
  • Optional external temperature sensor (10k NTC)
  • DIN rail mounting using Phoenix Contact BC series housing
