Abstract

Extracting solar power from the solar cell with high efficiency is a challenge. A best boost converter can be employed to do the above mention process. In order to find a best converter with better efficiency, comparison of solar powered SEPIC, ZETA and three switches ILBC fed DC drive systems is done. Three above mentioned converters are designed, modeled, and simulated. The simulation results are compared in terms of output power, speed and voltage ripple. The interleaved boost c converters are advantageous over reduced ripple, higher output power and hence improved efficiency. The simulations are done with MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results are exhibited.
