Abstract:
Switching dc-dc converters are widely used to interface the dc output of renewable energy resources with power distribution systems in order to facilitate the use of energy at the customer side. In the case of residential photovoltaic (PV) applications, high conversion ratio is usually required, in order to adapt the low output voltages of PV modules to a dc bus voltage, while dealing with the appropriate impedance matching. In this paper, a system connected to a PV panel consisting of two cascaded dc-dc boost converters under sliding-mode control and working as loss-free resistors is studied. The modeling, simulation, and design of the system are addressed. First, an ideal reduced-order sliding-mode dynamics model is derived from the full-order switched model taking into account the sliding constraints, the nonlinear characteristic of the PV module, and the dynamics of the MPPT controller. For this model, a design-oriented averaged model is obtained and its dynamic behavior is analyzed showing that the system is asymptotically globally stable. Moreover, the proposed system can achieve a high conversion ratio with an efficiency close to 95% for a wide range of working power. Numerical simulations and experimental results corroborate the theoretical analysis and illustrate the advantages of this architecture in PV systems.
