BATCH 5 Final Report

This document presents the design and analysis of a modified SEPIC converter for photovoltaic applications, aimed at increasing the output voltage significantly beyond the limitations of conventional converters. The proposed design incorporates additional capacitors and diodes, enabling the converter to achieve an output voltage increase of about 10 times with an efficiency of 91.5%. The findings suggest that this modified topology is effective for use in photovoltaic systems connected to the grid.

ABSTRACT

In designing photovoltaic systems connected to the grid system usually DC-DC


converter is required to increase the output voltage of the photovoltaic. The most
commonly design of DC-DC converters are typically used a converters with high
gain static in order to increase the output voltage of the photovoltaic and obtain a
high conversion efficiency. One type of converter used is a SEPIC converter
topology. However, the conventional DC-DC converter topologies such as SEPIC
converters can only increase by 5 times of the input voltage when the Duty Cycle is
set to 0.82. Meanwhile, to meet the dc input voltage of the inverter, the input
voltage of the converters have to increase above than 10 times. Therefore, to
overcome these problems, this paper proposes the design of DC-DC modified
SEPIC converter topologies for photovoltaic applications. Modifications to the
conventional SEPIC converter is done by adding capacitors and diodes. From the
experimental results shows that this converter can increase the output voltage about
10 times and has the efficiency about 91.5%. Furthermore, topology of the this
converter can be effectively applied for photovoltaic system.
