september 2010 doc id 15473 rev 2 1/38 AN2946 application note solar-led streetlight controlle r with 25 w led lamp driver and 85 w battery charger based on the stm32f101rx introduction the solar-led streetlight controller described in this application note is designed to achieve an 85 w solar energy battery charger and a 25 w led lamp driver. during the daytime the controller preserves the electricity energy gathered by the solar module (pv module), then stores it in the battery. in the evening the controller uses the battery energy to power the led streetlight. when the battery runs out of power after several rainy days, the controller enables the external offline power supply (not included in this system) instead of the battery to power the led streetlight until the system battery is fully charged again. due to the clean nature of solar energy, and the highly efficient energy conversion of the pv module and very long operating life of the le d lamp, the solar-led streetlight controller, compared to conventional streetlights, can save electricity remarkably, thus abating greenhouse gas (e.g. co 2 ) emission. this application note is based on the solution of solar-led streetlight controller architecture, including a battery charger and led lamp driver. the description of the architecture involves hardware and firmware design with design parameter settings. the solar-led streetlight controller demonstration board is shown in figure 1 . figure 1. solar-led streetlight controller demonstration board www.st.com

AN2946 hardware design doc id 15473 rev 2 13/38 3.1.3 led lamp driving circuit the led lamp driver is designed with flyback to pology. no isolation is required in this application. flyback is suitable for a wide ratio range of output voltage to input voltage. the battery voltage is 11 v ~ 14.3 v while for the led lamp, which is connected in a 3*7 matrix (3 led lamps in series and 7 strings in parallel), the maximum led voltage is defined as 12 v. the flyback converter keeps the led current constant in the above-mentioned battery voltage range. in figure 12 , t1 is the flyback transformer and q4 is the power mosfet. d5 and d9 clamp the maximum voltage across q4 in the off-state. d10 acts as the output rectifier and c30 and c33 are the output capacitors. r46, r47 and u9 are used to sense the led lamp current and feedback to the mcu for constant current regulation. the pwm signal from the mcu is converted from ttl level to cmos level via u2 and amplified by q7 and q8 to drive q4. when ocp and/or ovp activate, q3 and q9 are used to guarantee a single turn-on within each switching cycle. the mosfet current is sensed by resistors r30, r33 and r54 and amplified by u5b. the output of u5b is used to achieve ocp. there are two levels of ocp implemented in the led lamp driver. the mosfet current is sensed and transferred to comparators u7a and u7b. u7b se ts the first current lim it which is activated cycle by cycle. r37 and r36 form a voltage divider and set the threshold at the negative input of u7b. overcurrent in the primary circuit of t1 results in high logic output of u7b, thus pulling down the voltage of the 'led_protectio n' node at the q5 co llector. consequently, comparator u2 outputs low voltage and forces q4 to shut down. in case a heavy overload or short-circuit occurs, such as a physical short-circuit of t1 or d10 which might exist for some time, a second level ocp is needed to protect the driver. r41 and r43 form another voltage divider and set a higher threshold. a high current spike from q4 triggers the threshold and u7a generates 'led_fault' interrupt to the mcu. after receiving continuous interrupts, the mcu stops outputting the 'pwm_driver' signal and waits for a certain time for the next try (refer to section 4.4 ). such burst mode operation definitely lowers the voltage stress and current stress on power components. the ovp of the led lamp is achieved by d12. the principal is similar to that of the first level of ocp.

firmware design AN2946 24/38 doc id 15473 rev 2 steady state. since the resulted power at point b is higher than the power at point a, the mcu continues to increase the duty cycle. 2. step 2: the mcu increases the duty cycle from dc(b) to dc(c). during steady state the charger operates at point c. because th e power at point c is still higher than the power at point b, the mcu keeps the sa me trend and increases the duty cycle. 3. step 3: the charger now moves to point d after the mcu increases the duty cycle from dc(c) to dc(d). since the power at point d is lower than the power at point c, the mcu reverses the direction. at the next step, it decreases the duty cycle and moves to c. 4. step 4: the mcu keeps decreasing duty cycle from dc(c) to dc(b). after detecting that the power at b point is lower than that at c point, mcu reverses direction again. then system comes back to step 2. the p&o tracing route can be described as shown in figure 30 . this tracing route explains that the mppt algorithm is dynamic. the charger does not operate at a fixed point, and it works within a certain range that the maximum power point locates. figure 30. p and o tracing route the p&o method is based on the fact that the p-v curve remains almost unchanged during a very short time period. generally, the mcu executes each p&o step in several milliseconds, while the p-v curve drift caused by environmental change usually takes a few seconds or even several minutes, which is mu ch longer. the p&o method is a feasible method to achieve mpp tracking. !-v
