Low Voltage PV Interface to a High Voltage Input Source with Modified RVMR

Abstract

In this work PV fed Modified Resonant Voltage Multiplier Rectifier (RVMR) has been proposed for the hybrid renewable energy system. PV source energy is maximized in the modified RVMR scheme by applying the perturb and observe (P&O) based MPPT method. To incorporate modified RVMR for PV grid-connected systems and observe the improvement in dynamic response and voltage gain. In the proposed work, voltage gain and efficiency are analyzed and evaluated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
