Design and Experimental Validation of a Single-Stage PV String Inverter with Optimal Number of Interleaved Buck-Boost Cells

Abstract: Increasing converter power density is a problem of topical interest. This paper discusses an interleaved approach of the efficiency increase in the buck-boost stage of an inverter with unfolding circuit in terms of losses in semiconductors, output voltage ripples and power density. Main trends in the power converter development are reviewed. A losses model was designed and used for the proposed solution to find an optimal number of interleaved cells. It describes static and dynamic losses in semiconductor swit… Show more

“…Buck-boost inverters play a crucial role in connecting RESs to the utility grid and ac loads when the input voltage fluctuates below and above the output voltage. The DM buck-boost inverters have been presented in several publications [22][23][24][25][26][27]. There are eleven SSSD buck-boost converter topologies; seven of them are voltage-sourced boost-type converters, while the rest are current sourced.…”

“…The developed solar cells were finally considered efficient in 1954 [15]. Photovoltaic cell applications in the form of photovoltaic panels (PVPs) became widely available, common, and efficient [16]. They found applications for compact, autonomous, and sustainable IoT devices [17], such as solar-powered BLE beacons [18], sensors [19], and also devices supplying energy in various ways: indoor light energy [20], hybrid radio and light energy [21,22], or hybrid thermal and light energy [23].…”
