2 Easy-to-Buy Encapsulated DC to DC Power
Converters for Solar Power Systems
The sun has been useful to mankind in more ways
than one. Solar energy in its passive form has
been made use of for centuries. Later, solar
energy was used to heat water for household
purposes. Despite these uses, the use of solar
energy that actively provides usable electricity
is a relatively new idea. A few decades ago, the
idea of using solar energy to power homes seemed
to be a farfetched thought. But rapid progress
has been made over the past few years in order to
make this idea a practical and viable option.
3 Todays solar photovoltaic power electronics
systems have changed the image of using solar
energy, being limited to the drawing board. These
systems can be used over a variety of
applications, right from powering a mobile phone
to powering your home. Another important factor
that needs consideration is the cost of
installation of this photovoltaic system. It has
reduced drastically over the years. Where a
system would have cost in the range of 12 per
watt of energy produced in back days, it now
costs a third of that price in present days.
Though all of the above factors that make solar
energy seem like an attractive option, there are
still issues concerning the efficiency of the
photovoltaic panels.
4 Encapsulated DC to DC Power Converters in Power
Distribution Systems
The contribution of encapsulated DC to DC power
converters in power distribution systems is still
arguable where improving system controllability,
reliability, size and efficiency is concerned.
Only a small part of the sunlight that reaches
the PV system is converted in to useful
electricity due to the inefficiency and
failure-prone components used in most PV systems
today. High cost and lower reliability of the
power converters become barriers if power
electronics is used as direct, one to one,
replacement for the existing electromechanical
equipment. However, if the whole power
distribution system were designed as a system of
controllable converters, the overall system cost
and reliability could actually improve.
5 In the past, power electronics converters have
been mostly employed for local power conversion
from an infinite source to meet dynamic energy
demands of a specific load. Today, high
reliability applications such as hospitals,
datacom centers, and semiconductor industry, have
spawned the development of super-reliable local
power distribution systems with the extended use
of power electronics converters.
These systems include multiple primary and
secondary energy sources, several levels of
energy storage and back-up, and numerous active
loads, all interfaced through electronic power
converters. All of the emerging alternative and
renewable energy sources are interfaced to the
existing power systems through power electronics
converters due to their very different dynamic
characteristics.
6 Role of Encapsulated DC to DC Power Converters
in Renewable Energy Systems
In that case of renewable energy systems, a set
of various power electronics components are
required in order to convert the energy from one
stage into another stage to the grid. This has to
be done with the highest possible efficiency
while maintaining the lowest cost possible and to
keep a superior performance.
About 40 of the worlds power needs are
currently met by electrical energy and that
proportion is expected to rise as countries cut
carbon emissions and shift to renewable energy
sources. All the systems and products involved in
converting and controlling the flow of electrical
energy comes under the umbrella of power
electronics.
7 Encapsulated DC to DC power converters are used
in applications where an average output voltage
is required which can be higher or lower than the
input voltage. The choice of the appropriate
encapsulated DC to DC power converters for the
implementation of both the MPPT system and its
integration in the facility array has not been
explicitly studied, despite its affecting
significantly the optimum operation of the
photovoltaic system.
The aim of this work is to make a comparative of
the photovoltaic system performance using three
basic topologies of three different encapsulated
dc to dc power converters and MPPT tracker for
that we require the study of characteristics and
properties of encapsulated DC to DC power
converters, especially as regards the input
impedance that they present under certain
operating conditions. So that it may be possible
to make a decision on the best configuration to
be used.
8 Few comparisons such as voltage, current and
power output for each different combination have
been recorded. Multi changes in duty cycle,
irradiance, temperature by keeping voltage and
current as main sensed parameter.
