Abstract:This paper investigates how the DC choppers behave during the shading occurrence at different time intervals of the year. Three types of DC choppers are implemented during the same shading conditions and intervals of time. The studied parameters are the duty cycle, output power, current, and switch losses. The mathematical model is built and implemented using the MATLAB/Simulink platform. The obtained results show that the SEPIC converter has the highest rate of duty cycle, which means more switching losses ar… Show more
