Abstract

Photovoltaic power generation systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in distribution and generation systems. Many industrialized nations are installing significant solar power capacity in their grids as a supplement or alternative to other power sources. This project presents PV module with SEPIC converter for electrical applications especially for dc load application. A general boost converter has limited voltage step-up ratio because of its parasitic resistances. Thus, it is not applicable for high step-up applications. As a solution, combining a boost converter with a series output module can be considered to supplement the insufficient step-up ratio. By applying this concept, a new integrated boost-SEPIC (IBS) converter, which provides additional step-up ratio with the help of an isolated SEPIC converter.
