Abstract

The research on renewable energy, especially solar energy becomes more and more important. To achieve high step-up and high efficiency DC/DC converters is the major consideration in the renewable power applications due to the low voltage of Photo-Voltaic (PV) arrays. In DC-DC converters, the output voltage must be kept constant, regardless of changes in the effective load resistance. The closed loop boost converter is used to convert a low level dc input voltage from solar PV module to a high level dc voltage required for the load. To regulate the output voltage of the converter closed loop voltage feedback and inductor current feedback technique is used. Feedback loop is necessary to maintain output voltage constant which means some type of compensation is required to maintain the loop stability. PI controller is designed for a closed loop boost converter and stability is analysed.
