Design and Simulation by Photovoltaic System with Tapped Topology

The concept of AC Module is typically applied to transform DC in AC. As a novel solution, center tapped topology is proposed for design of inverter into a Module Integrated Converter (MIC). Main contribution of converter with tapped inductor topology is to generate a bigger AC voltage to output, depending on the duty cycle and turn ratio of tapped inductor. The topology chose is convenient because is small, simple and cheap. To achieve a sinusoidal signal output the inverter is controlled with Sine Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM). The novel converter proposed and its control system is evaluated by means of the electronic simulator. The simulation results obtained is appreciated that the proposed converter working in a photovoltaic system increases the voltage gain, increases the efficiency and reduced the harmonic distortion with respect to traditional converters.
