Abstract

In today’s world, non-renewable energy sources like the fossil fuels and nuclear fission are widely used for generation of power. This paper presents the ecofriendly method of generation of power by means of sunlight energy captured in photovoltaic cells. The model represents main components of the system that are the solar array, boost converter, the grid side inverter and MPPT. A proper control of the DC/DC converter is extract maximum amount of from the photovoltaic generator. The grid connected inverter transfers the energy drawn from the PV module into the grid by keeping common dc voltage constant. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) delivers maximum available power at a specific point. The overall efficiency of grid/load connected photovoltaic power generation systems depends on the efficiency of the DC-AC conversion. The simulation results are obtained by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
