Abstract
This paper proposes to design three different control methods, i.e., traditional PWM with periodic carrier , ZVS-soft switching and ZCS-soft switching are simulated and implemented in terms of their performance in suppressing ripples, reducing EMI and increasing converter conversion efficiency in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuits (dc-dc converter) of the solar PV powered system.. Cuk converter is the interface between the solar PV panel and load. In order to reduce the switching losses across the switches, the soft switching (ZVS, ZCS) has been implemented for Cuk converter, resulting in high conversion efficiency with less EMI at high-frequency operation. The converter conversion efficiency is compared for Cuk and soft switched Cuk converter based MPP tracking and the harmonic content that each of them produces is examined using FFT analysis. The Adaptive Perturb and observer MPPT algorithm is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and implemented using ATMEGA16 micro controller. Hardware validation is carried out for the converter with the solar PV panel with rating of 37W, and operating at 25 kHz.
