INTRODUCTION |
| The Integrated Boost Resonant converter is a DC-DC Converter which has a dc input, Resonant Inverter which
converts dc into ac and is given to a high step up transformer with turns ratio 1:n. The transformer does the step up
in voltage and fed to a voltage doubler circuit [1]-[3] which converts ac into dc as well as doubles the voltage thus
resulting in a high step up dc voltage in the output side. The different configurations of Resonant converters are
series LC [4], parallel LC, LLC Resonant converter [5], LCC Resonant converter [6]-[8], and these topologies are
simulated in IBR Converter with solar PV [9][10][11] as input for Resistive loads. Solar Photovoltaic cell produces
dc electrical energy which is fed as input for the different IBR Converter Configurations. In the simulation, solar
PV equivalent circuit is used from which the supply is given to the IBR Converter and here 12 v dc is given as input
.The conventional IBR Converter [12][13]is shown in Fig1 which is modified with different Resonant topologies
and analysed for Resistive loads with solar PV input source. |
| In recent years photovoltaic (PV) has become attractive as a result PV market would grow up to 30 GW by
2014, due to the following policy-driven scenario [13]. The generation of electricity from solar PV panel as shown in
Fig 2.One type of renewable energy source is the photovoltaic (PV) cell, which converts sunlight to electrical current,
without any form for mechanical or thermal interlink. Solar PV Energy has major advantages as they are Eco friendly, no noise, no moving parts, no emissions, no use of fuels and water, minimal maintenance requirements, Long lifetime
up to 30 years. Thus Solar PV is used as the input source for the converter making this project as an Eco-Friendly one. |
