The authors describe a control method for a resonant DC-DC converter in a small-scale photovoltaic system linked up with storage batteries. The converter is suitable for tracking control of storage battery charging. The control method and experimental results are presented. Optimum operation was achieved by the application of the improved control circuit presented. With this circuit, it is possible to implement tracking control for various intensities of solar radiation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
