MODELING AND SIMULATION OF DC-DC CONVERTER TOPOLOGIES FOR SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM

Nowadays Renewable energy power generation is greater than before due to increasing energy demands, reducing of carbon emission and depletion of fossil fuels. Form all renewable categories, Solar power generation is increased due to solar energy available for many hours. The efficiency of solar power generation is very low, the use of power electronics converter is very essential for maximizes the transferring of power from renewable energy resources. Since many converter topologies are design and implemented, out of which suitable converter should be taken out for the specific design of applications. This project aims to design and simulated of various converters topology like Boost, Buck-Boost, CUK and SEPIC converters with MPPT algorithm. The converter design is carried out and theoretical design is verified with simulations for evaluating the best topologies for PV based application using PSIM tool.
