Title
A High Gain Novel Double-Boost Converter For Dc Microgrid Applications
Abstract
In solar photovoltaic (PV)-based DC microgrid systems, the voltage output of the classical DC-DC converter produces very less voltage as a result of poor voltage gain. Therefore, cascaded DC-DC boost converters are mandatory for boosting the voltage to match the DC microgrid voltage. However, the number of devices utilized in the DC-DC conversion stage becomes higher and leads to more losses. Thereby, it affects the system efficiency and increases the complication of the system and cost. In order to overcome this drawback, a novel double-boost DC-DC converter is proposed to meet the voltage in DC microgrid. Also, this paper discusses the detailed operation of maximum power point (MPP) tracking techniques in the novel double-boost DC-DC converter topology. The fundamental P-V and I-V characteristics of solar photovoltaic system, operational details of MPP execution and control strategies for double-boost DC/DC converter are described elaborately. The proposed converter operation and power injection into the DC microgrid are verified through the real-time PSCAD simulation and the validation is done through the experiment with hardware module which is indistinguishable with the simulation platform.
