Abstract :
Photovoltaic (PV) cell based power generation is best alternative developing for fossil fuel as it does not have pollution issues. This paper focuses on performance of boost and Cuk DC/DC converter, used in MPPT based PV system. Perturb and Observe (P&O) technique used to generate duty cycle of converters. The simulation study is performed using MATLAB/Simulink for the PV system and it has been observed that the Cuk converter produces better results compared with boost converter.
