Description
Summary:Photovoltaic is credible technology budding worldwide in the production of electricity for terrestrial applications. The major drawback of this technology is low efficiency produced by PV panels and power converters. Maximum power point tracking techniques are used to improve the efficiency of the PV panels while the switching loss of converters reduces the efficiency. In this proposed work a modified Zero voltage Zero current switching boost converter is designed and integrated with the PV panel to produce lossless operation thereby increases the efficiency. In this work a well known perturb and observe algorithm is used to track maximum available power from the PV panel. The proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and also the results were verified with experimental outcomes.
