Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation is an excellent example of large-scale electric power generation through various parallel arrangements of small voltage-generating solar cells or modules. However, PV generation systems require power electronic converters system to satisfy the need for real-time applications or to balance the demand for power from electric. Therefore, a DC-DC power converter is a vital constituent in the intermediate conversion stage of PV power. This book presents a comprehensive review of various non-isolated DC-DC power converters.
Non-isolated DC-DC converters for renewable energy system (RES) application
presented in this book 1
st edition through a detailed original investigation, obtained numerical/experimental results, and guided the scope to design new families of converters:
- DC-DC multistage power converter topologies,
- Multistage "X-Y converter family",
- Nx IMBC (Nx Interleaved Multilevel Boost Converter),
- Cockcroft Walton (CW) Voltage Multiplier-Based Multistage/Multilevel Power Converter (CW-VM-MPC) converter topologies, and
- Z-source and quasi Z-source.
Above solutions are discussed to show how they can achieve the maximum voltage conversion gain ratio by adapting the passive/active component within the circuits. For assessment, we have recommended novel power converters through their functionality and designs, tested and verified by numerical software. Further, the hardware prototype implementation is carried out through a flexible digital processor. Both numerical and experimental results always shown as expected close agreement with primary theoretical hypotheses.
This book offers guidelines and recommendation for future development with the DC-DC converters for RES applications based on cost-effective, and reliable solutions.
This book focusses on hardware implementation and investigation studies of novel non-isolated unidirectional DC-DC multistage power converter configurations for renewable energy applications. Their functionality and design have been tested and verified by various simulation tools including review of existing unidirectional power converters.
