Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

In recent years solar energy has received worldwide attention in the field of renewable energy systems. Among the various research thrusts in solar PV, the most proverbial area is extracting maximum power from solar PV system. Application dof Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for extracting maximum power is very much appreciated and holds the key in developing efficient solar PV system. In this paper, a state of the art review on various maximum power point techniques for solar PV systems covering timeworn conventional methods and latest soft computing algorithms is presented. To date critical analysis on each of the method in terms of (1) tracking speed, (2) algorithm complexity, (3) Dynamic tracking under partial shading and (4) hardware implementation is not been carried out. In this regard the authors have attempted to compile a comprehensive review on various solar PV MPPT techniques based on the above criteria. Further, it is envisaged that the information presented in this review paper will be a valuable gathering of information for practicing engineers as well as for new researchers. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd

A comprehensive review on solar PV maximum power point tracking techniques

Recent developments of control strategies for wind energy conversion system

Maximum power point tracking algorithms for photovoltaic system – A review

This study proposes a novel non-isolated high-gain high-power DC-DC converter. The converter is developed from a basic high-gain high-power converter structure. The proposed converter comprises of a three-phase interleaved boost converter, one coupled inductor and a voltage multiplier cell which act as gain extension stage. The main desirable features like voltage gain, stress on the switches and diodes, turns ratio, component utilisation factor and efficiency are summarised. The power circuit, operational details, simulation and experimental results of the 60 V/1.1 kV, 3 kW, 100 kHz proposed converter are presented. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2016.

Transformerless high-gain DC–DC converter for microgrids

To meet the ever increasing electrical energy demand, energy conversion from PV sources is gaining prominence. When used in conjunction with existing power system network, the energy extracted from the renewable energy sources can be utilized to electrify remote areas also. The advancements in DC-DC converter topologies and inverter control strategies have led to the wide emergence of grid tied PV systems. The efficiency at which power is fed to the grid hinges largely on the proper choice and performance of the DC-DC converter stage. Hence, there is a compelling need to thoroughly review the performance of existing DC-DC converter topologies. In this paper, a comprehensive review on the evolution and design aspects of High Gain High Power (HGHP) DC-DC converters employable for solar PV fed system is presented. A simple and generalized strategy to derive high gain high power DC-DC converters has been developed and presented. The salient features of five novel converter topologies that have been derived by using the proposed strategy are elaborated to illustrate the validity of the adopted synthesis methodology. The salient features and the feasibility of connecting the derived topologies to the DC grid/micro grid are highlighted. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd
