Abstract |
This paper proposes a DC-DC converter topology which converts the low voltage DC input of a PVA (Photo voltaic array) to a high gain output. The output of the converter is further inverted to interconnect various applications. The topology comprises of a dual active bridge (DAB) converter with a high frequency transformer. With increase in the switching frequency of the converter magnetizing losses are reduced as compared to other converters. The frequency of the DC to AC inverter at the output end is higher than the DAB converter, as an effect of increase in the efficiency of the topology. Several closed loop controllers (PI, feed forward, PIR) are used for the analysis of the converter. The total analysis in done in MATLAB simulink software and all the possible results are shown in the paper. |
