DC-DC Converter with Active Switched LC Network for PV System Along with MPPT

Abstract

To get maximum power from Photo Voltaic (PV) panel, a DC-DC converter is operated with an active switched LC-network and a fuzzy controller, which boosts the output voltage by utilizing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). In areas where solar energy is abundant, PV systems offer a low-cost source of electricity. Non-Polluting and low maintenance are two advantages of a PV system. There are several factors that can reduce the output of solar energy, including irradiance, temperature, and partial shading in the cells. A DC-DC converter with active switched LC networks can be used to provide constant output voltage. As the power outcome of the PV system is variable, Perturb and Observe (P and O) MPPT procedure obtains maximum output power. The output of P and O MPPT is compared with Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) MPPT and the results are presented.
