Power Performance Analysis of PV Module with DC to DC Buck Converter

Abstract

The power performance of the PV module with dc-dc buck converter for photovoltaic energy application has been analyzed in this paper. Since the solar module produces DC voltage at various levels depending on irradiance variation, it is needed to connect a DC-DC converter to adjust the level of DC voltage at a certain level. The power output has been investigated by MATLAB simulation. To improve the output power Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is used. From the simulation, it has been observed that around 13.85 Watts more output power can be extracted if PID control is used.

Multiple Range of Output Converter for Hazard Sensors with PV System

“…When calculating the value of the inductor must be 25% greater than the minimum value of the inductor, Lmin is obtained in Equation ( 2) to ensure the circuit can operate continuously. The value of the capacitor (C) can be calculated using Equation ( 4) with the output ripple voltage which can be interpreted as a fraction of the output voltage [7].…”

“…The success of a PV system also depends on the performance of the components in the system operation. Power electronics circuits such as DC to DC converters are used to convert DC voltage to another DC voltage level and have pure DC voltage input and output [7]. DC to DC converters have various types with different capabilities, namely boost converter, buck converter, buck-boost converter, zeta converter, cuk converter, bidirectional DC to DC [8].…”

Evaluation of Power Performance of Solar Module Using Two Diode Model with MATLAB Simulation

“…On top of this the power output can be maximized using several MPPT techniques [17], [18]. But to control the duty cycle of the MPPT the DC-DC converter plays a vital role [19], [20].…”
