Design and Simulation of Self Lift Positive Output Luo Converter Using Incremental Conductance Algorithm for Photovoltaic Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the design and simulation of self-lift positive output P/O luo converter using Incremental Conductance (IncCond) algorithm for photovoltaic applications. The solar panel model is developed using the basic circuit equations of photovoltaic cell. The MPP of a solar panel varies with irradiation and temperature. The IncCond algorithm is used to track the maximum power from the solar panel. The unregulated voltage from the panel will be regulated by using the self-lift luo converter. It will reduce the voltage and current ripple. As for component stress, the self-lift luo converter has a smaller voltage and current stresses than the original luo converter. Matlab/Simulink is used for simulation studies.
