AUTO-RECONFIGURABLE INTRA-MODULE DC-DC CONVERTER FOR PV APPLICATION

It is quite evident that the output power of the PV module is highly influenced by the partial shading. In this work, we have proposed a novel structure of a non-isolated DC-DC converter to use as a distributed power converter in PV application. This converter is designed with wider voltage gain range specially to address the variations of output voltage of PV cells. The description of the proposed converter and the operational principle are explained here. This paper also demonstrates the benefits and suitability of the proposed converter in PV application. Simulation results of the proposed converter are also presented to verify the viability of the converter.
