Performance comparison of Cuk and Modified Cuk converter for PV Applications

Abstract

This paper aims to compare the performance of Cuk and modified Cuk converter for PV applications. The conduction losses and switching losses are reduced by means of replacing the passive elements with switched capacitors. These switched capacitors are used to provide smooth transition of voltage and current. Hybrid converters is mainly based on less energy in the magnetic field, leading to saving in the size and cost of the inductors, and less current stresses in the switching elements, leading to smaller conduction losses. Cuk and modified Cuk converter compared using MATLAB software simulation and experimental results.
