The DC micro grid can be utilized for rural electrification, UPS support, Electronic lighting systems and Electrical vehicles. The whole system consists of a Photovoltaic panel (PV), High step up DC-DC Boost converter with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and DC micro grid. The entire system is optimized with both MPPT and converter separately. Converter optimization includes a high step up DC-DC converter which comprises of both coupled inductors and switched capacitors. This increases the gain with high efficiency. Both converter optimization and MPPT optimization increases overall system...
