Modeling and analysis of PV fed DC-DC converters

Abstract

The renewable energy sources Fuel cell, solar PV has low output voltage characteristics. These energy output voltage should be stepped up with high efficiency to the electrical network standards to connect them into the grid. To regulate the power from renewable sources and to match the load demand and grid requirement in order to improve the dynamic and steady-state characteristics of the system the power electronic converters are used. In this paper, a various DC-DC converter topologies are analyzed mathematically and simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK software. The performance of these converters is analyzed based on the simulation results obtained. Thus, the suitable converter for non-conventional energy source application is identified.
