Abstract :
In this paper, an interleaved soft switching boost converter (ISSBC) with mppt for photovoltaic (PV) power-generation system is proposed. The topology used raises the efficiency for the dc/dc converter of the PV power conditioning system (PVPCS), and it minimizes switching losses by adopting a resonant soft-switching method. Interleaved technique is used to reduce the input current ripple and the output voltage ripple. MPPT technique is used to get the maximum power from the solar module. Improved P and O algorithm is used to achieve MPPT. This increases the efficiency of solar power available. The simulation (MATLAB) and the hardware implementation are done and the results were achieved.
