Abstract:
In this paper, an attempt is made to build an effective solar photovoltaic (PV) system considering geographical aspects such as irradiance and temperature using the single-diode equation model. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of various DC-DC converters (buck, boost, inverting buck-boost, non-inverting buck-boost (NIBB), Cuk, and single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC)) connected to a solar photovoltaic (PV) module was conducted in order to determine the optimal combination of DC-DC converter and solar PV. Moreover, the R, L, and C parameters for the converters have also been proposed to gain optimum efficiency from the solar PV system, and it has been shown that increasing the resistance decreases the ripple value. Furthermore, it has been shown that Ns and Np values of 36 and 1, respectively, result in 199 W of output power from a solar PV module at the maximum power point (48 V). The obtained results show that NIBB and SEPIC simulations gave the best results, with efficiencies of 93.27% and 92.35%, respectively.
