Performance analysis of ZVS and ZCS boost converters for Solar Photo Voltaic Applications

Abstract

This paper describes a useful modulated, asymmetric full-bridge converter for sustainable solar PV applications. The suggested converter achieves zero-voltage switching (ZVS) on the main side’s power switches and reduces circulating current loss by utilizing a full-bridge architecture and an asymmetric control method. The blocking capacitor and the leakage inductance of the transformer operate in resonance to further provide the Zero Current Switching (ZCS) off for the output diode without the need for any further circuitry. Output diode reverse recovery is no longer a concern as a result. Additional connections to the input voltage include the power switch voltage stresses. Because of these features, the suggested converter has the infrastructure to reduce power losses. The buildings of renewable energy sources can benefit especially from it.
