Inhalt:
This paper presents an integrated power conditioning converter for photovoltaic application, where a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is used in order to maximize the harvested power. Ripple correlation control technique is used to extract the maximum power from the cell. The power conditioning system (PCS) in this paper uses a single cell structure. The integrated converter incorporated in the PCS is based on the buck-boost topology to enhance the photovoltaic system performance especially in very low irradiation conditions. Simulation results using H-Spice are presented in this paper in order to verify the operation and its principle.
