Analysis and Comparison of DC - DC Converter Topologies for the Design and Development of a Solar Based Inverterless System

Abstract

The different DC - DC Converter topologies such as Buck - Boost Converter, Boost Converter, Buck Converter, Sepic Converter and the Phase Shifted Full Bridge DC - DC Converter have been examined and dealt with in this paper. Comparison, study as well as simulation of these topologies have been done for the implementation of a topology best suited for the Solar based inverterless system. The performance parameters are Output Voltage, Output Current and Efficiency and the necessary waveforms corresponding to these parameters have been simulated. The system can be exclusively built for DC loads as DC systems consume half the power required by the AC Systems and the unnecessary conversions are avoided due to which the efficiency and reliability of the system is highly increased. The analysis and simulations have been done on the MATLAB’17 software.
