Abstract | This paper proposes a high step-up solar power op- timizer (SPO) that efficiently harvests maximum energy from a photovoltaic (PV) panel then outputs energy to a dc-microgrid. Its structure integrates coupled inductor and switched capacitor technologies to realize high step-up voltage gain. The leakage in- ductance energy of the coupled inductor can be recycled to re- duce voltage stress and power losses. A low voltage rating and low-conduction resistance switch improves system efficiency by employing the incremental conductancemethod for themaximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Because of its high track- ing accuracy, the method is widely used in the energy harvesting of PV systems. laboratory prototypes of the proposed SPO that have an input voltage range of 20 to 40 V and a maximum PV output power of 400 V/300Ware applied. The highest PV power conver- sion efficiency is 96.7{%}. The maximum MPPT accuracy is 99.9{%}, and the full load average MPPT accuracy is 97.8{%}. |
