Simulation Of Photovoltaic Cell With Push Pull Buck DC-DC Converter

Abstract

Renewable energy sources have become a popular alternative electrical energy source where power
generation in conventional ways is not practical. In the last few years the photovoltaic and wind power generation have
been increased significantly. The paper proposes a method of modeling and simulation of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV)
arrays, interface between two dissimilar toolboxes in MATLAB and different control schemes for the converter control.
This paper also shows the simulation of the SPV . The main obj ective is to find the non-linear I-V equation by obtaining
the curve at three points, open circuit, maximum power and short circuit. The method finds the I-V equation for the
single diode photovoltaic model including the effect of the series and parallel resistances. Simulation of the standalone
system has been carried out using DC-DC converters full bridge push pull converter topology.
