Comparison Between Boost and Quadratic Boost Converter for MPPT Technique

Abstract

Maximum power point tracking techniques reused to extract maximum output power from the photovoltaic panel. The output power of the array changes with change in isolation and atmospheric temperature. In this paper boost converter and quadratic boost converter is simulated with different duty cycles and the results are compared. Then Perturb and Observe MPPT technique is proposed for boost and quadratic converter to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. The main objective is to trace the maximum power point of the photovoltaic module in order to extract the maximum possible power from the photovoltaic. The proposed technique is simulated using MATLAB/Simulation at dynamic isolation and temperature. The comparison is made on both the system employing different dc-dc converter.
