Investigation in the PV Converter Smoothing Circuit Size Reduction vs. Loss in Energy Capturing

Abstract:

The Photovoltaic (PV) cell which can convert directly sunlight into electricity has a nonlinear power vs. voltage curve, and a digital controlled power converter is required to implement the Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) function. This paper aims to investigate the influence of current ripple amplitude which results from the operation of power converter on the efficiency of capturing the available solar energy. By simulation, a tradeoff between the filter size, the current ripple amplitude and the solar energy capture efficiency is found.
