Abstract

This project proposes a dual mode flyback based hybrid converter that can support both a grid tied mode and islanded mode operation to extract maximum power from the solar PV source at all times. It is also designed to employ active power decoupling to draw constant input current with reduced filter size at the terminals of the PV panel in both AC and DC output power modes. The ability of the proposed converter to produce both DC and AC output allows flexibility of operation in environments where the grid may not be available for as high as 80% of sunlight hours while maintaining the advantages of micro-inverters. In advance the DC generated voltage is given to a CUK converter so that the proposed converter could be able to support both the AC grid and also the variable DC load both in positive and negative polarity.
