Abstract:

In this paper a three state switching cell boost converter for photovoltaic applications employing MPPT algorithm is discussed. A three state switching cell boost converter has advantages such as reduced size of boost inductor and current sharing is performed between two switches leading to the usage of low power rating switches. The maximum power varies with respect to temperature and solar radiation. MPPT algorithm is used to track the maximum power and thereby improving the efficiency of the system. By manipulating the duty cycle the system implements MPPT algorithm. The simulation is performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK under various temperature and solar radiation and waveforms are presented.
