The main issue in Wind Power Plant (WPP) systems is the instability of the output voltage caused by fluctuations in wind speed. This unstable voltage complicates the battery charging process and can damage electronic equipment. This research aims to analyze the performance of a Boost Converter in stabilizing the output voltage of a WPP system. The Boost Converter circuit was designed with PWM signal control using an Arduino Nano microcontroller, supported by a TLP250 driver to regulate the switching duty cycle. Tests were carried out at various turbine rotational speeds (RPM), and the results show that the Boost Converter is capable of increasing and stabilizing the output voltage close to the reference value of 14 volts. The average output voltage obtained was 14.81 volts, with minimal deviation despite input fluctuations. In addition, an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system using the Blynk application successfully monitored the voltage in real time with a reading difference of about 0.2 volts compared to direct measurements. The findings indicate that the Boost Converter is effective for stabilizing voltage in small-scale WPP systems and supports the development of renewable energy in remote areas.
