Converters’ Topologies of Roof-top Solar PV System: A Comparative Analysis

Arun Kumar Maurya, Hera Khan, Tanu .

Abstract


Grid Connected Solar PV (GCSPV) systems are being increasingly used to meet the energy gap between demand and supply around the globe. In this paper, the performance analysis, modeling & simulation of 40kWp GCSPV system have been carried out. The SPV system is installed at Ghaziabad (latitude and longitude of this location are 28.66°N & 77.44°E respectively) in National Capital Region, India. The total yield generated by the system is fed into the grid. Different types of DC/DC topologies have been considered to get optimum performance of GCSPV system in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. After obtaining result, the comparative analysis of BOOST, SEPIC and CUK converters connected to experimental set up installed on roof-top GCSPV system have shown in this paper. From this observation, we may specify and rightly choose the DC/DC power converters kind to be introduced for our specified SPV system within the production improvement method of it.
