Miniaturised “Low Profile” Module Integrated Converter for Photovoltaic Amlications with Integrated Magnetic Components
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with reliability aspects of Module Integrated Converters (MIC) for grid connected photovoltaic applications. The presented “Low Profile Design” of a MIC has almost twice the power density and a 70% longer lifetime than commercially available MICs. In order to miniaturise and increase the reliability of the MIC all magnetic components have been realised using planar cores and windings integrated into PCB. Additionally the converter’s resonant inductor has been integrated into the transformer by using the leakage inductance as the inductor. The leakage inductance of planar transformers with integrated windings can be adjusted very precisely.

متن کاملAn alternative MPPT control for photovoltaic systems implemented in an FPGA
A new algorithm is presented to control an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) through an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The photovoltaic module was assumed to be connected to a generic load by means of a DC/DC converter controlled through the MPPT. Under these conditions, and for given temperature and solar radiation values, the power supplied by the module was successfully controlled by...
