Single converter solar high mast lighting system is a project to design and implement a stand-alone MIMO converter solar power high mast light. The main focus of this project is to determine the options that are available to replace grid-powered street lamps with a stand-alone system that has the reliability to work under the worst conditions. The system’s main circuit is a MIMO converter which is able to accommodate arbitrary number of sources and loads. The system consists of two inputs and outputs i.e. inputs as solar cell and power grid and outputs as battery and high mast light. It only employs a single inductor, which can reduce the complexity and cost of the system as well as simplify the current sensing. By sensing the inductor current and monitoring the switching signals of the switches, the input and output currents can be determined without employing additional current sensing circuitry.
