As opposed to other means, harnessing energy from the sun has become all the more easier and affordable . To this end, solar photovoltaic (PV) technology holds immense, demonstrated potential. PV cells consisting of specialized semiconductor diodes can convert the sun’s radiations directly into DC voltage.
The paper presents a highly efficient DC-DC Boost converter meant for utility level photovoltaic systems. Solar photovoltaic cells are highly sought-after for renewable energy generation owing to their ability to generate power directly. However, the outputs of solar arrays range in lower DC voltage.
When the perturbation headed into the MPP, the step size would be larger, and once it reaches the MPP, the step size would be smaller . From the literature review, it is also clear that the boost-converter based solar energy harvesting systems lack advancements in two different standpoints.
Therefore, PV modules are assembled in series–parallel combinations to increase the power rating. This is where power electronic interfaces or power optimizers such as DC-DC converters are used to boost low level DC output voltage from PV arrays to voltage levels as required by utility grid applications .
More so in context to utility-scale applications of PV technology, PV cells connected in series–parallel combinations form PV modules which when grouped form a PV array that would be capable of supplying required amount of power to necessary loads. The most important part of the PV application is the solar panel designing.
