This paper presents an interleaved boost converter with coupled inductors for photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion. The proposed soft-switching boost converter uses an interleaved method to increase its power density and coupled-inductor technology to extend its step-up voltage ratio. To reduce switching losses of active switches, the proposed interleaved boost converter incorporates a synchrono...

Owing to the evolution of the smart grid, the emergence of hybrid power systems (HPSs), and the proliferation of plug-in-hybrid electric vehicles, the development of efficient and robust maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for renewable energy sources due to their inherent intermittent nature has overwhelmed the power industry.

Solar energy is clean, renewable and its decentralized character is appropriate well at the scattered state of the zones with low density of population. The cost of electricity from the solar array system is more expensive than the electricity from the utility grid. So, it is necessary to operate the PV system at maximum efficiency by tracking maximum power point at any environmental condition....
