In many photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems, nonisolated DC-DC converters with high voltage gain are desired. The PV exhibits a nonlinear power characteristic which greatly depends on the environmental conditions. Hence in order to draw maximum available power various algorithms are used with PV voltage/current or both as an input for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. In this paper, golden section search (GSS) based MPPT control and its application with three-level DC-DC boost converter for MPPT are demonstrated. The three-level boost converter provides the high voltage transfer which enables the high power PV system to work with low size inductors with high efficiency. The balancing of the voltage across the two capacitors of the converter and MPPT is achieved using a simple duty cycle based voltage controller. Detailed simulation of three-level DC-DC converter topology with GSS algorithm is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. The validation of the proposed system is done by the experiments carried out on hardware prototype of 100 W converter with low cost AT’mega328 controller as a core controller. From the results, the proposed system suits as one of the solutions for PV based generation system and the experimental results show high performance, such as a conversion efficiency of 94%.

This paper presents a non-isolated three-port switching boost converter and applies it to photovoltaic systems. The topology combines the characteristics of the switching boost network. By controlling three degrees of freedom, the ports have boost, buck, and buck-boost characteristics. It expands the three-port converter (TPC) working range with the advantages of simple structure, small size, and low cost. The operating mode and power flow direction of the TPC are determined according to the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage system. Analyses of the working state of the topology in different working modes further verify the power flow of the system and explain its control strategy to complete the smooth switching of different working modes. Finally, the correctness of the above theory and its feasibility in photovoltaic system are verified by simulation and experiment.

This paper mainly impacts on a bridgeless buck boost converter fed Brush Less Direct Current (BLDC) motor drive with Power Factor Correction (PFC) which is low cost and well suitable for low power applications. The speed of the BLDC motor is controlled by adjusting the Voltage Source Inverter’s dc link voltage which is then employed along with a distinct voltage sensor. Thus the fundamental frequency switching of VSI operation becomes quite ease with BLDC motor’s electronic turn off which provides minimal switching losses. An acceptable performance is attained for speed control having power quality indicators within the allowable limits. To end with the suggested drive’s prototype model has been implemented to evaluate and confirm the suggested BLDC motor drive’s performance for various speed controls with enhanced AC main’s power quality.
