Abstract
The paper presents the performance analysis of a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) system with a multiple gain boost converter. Mathematical model of a single diode-based SPV is developed and simulated. The corresponding plots of PV and IV characteristics for various temperatures and irradiation are given. The current work also presents the results of MATLAB simulation studies of a SPV system connected to an advanced multiple gain boost converter with Capacitor-Inductor-Capacitance (C-L-C) topology. Generation of different levels of high voltage is possible to meet the requirement of any given application, as this converter is modular in nature. The paper also discusses the performance analysis and comparative study of the SPV system connected to a two-level C-L-C, three-level C-L-C and conventional converters. The simulation results show that the C-L-C converter for SPV is efficient with high gain compared to the conventional DC-DC converter. The peak overshoot in the output voltage of a C-L-C converter is substantially lesser than the conventional converter and decreases with increase in the levels. It is also seen that the output voltage gain is 3 and 4 for a two- and three-level C-L-C converter, respectively.
