Interleaved Boost Converter for Photovoltaic Energy Generation

Abstract:

Renewable energy is derived from natural resources and most commonly used renewable energy system is photovoltaic cells. DC-DC boost converter serves many purposes and usually required in many applications which has a low output voltage such as batteries, photo-voltaic cell. In this paper interleaved boost converter (IBC) topology is discussed for solar energy generation. IBC have better performance characteristics compared to a conventional boost converter due to increased efficiency. DC-DC IBC have been considered and analyzed by input current ripple and output current ripple and output voltage ripple. The waveforms of voltage and current ripples and the output voltage are obtained by using MATLAB/SIMULINK are presented. The design of inductor, capacitor and analysis of ripples has been presented.
