Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters for Renewable Energy Applications

Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation requires power electronic converters to meet real-time applications and balance demand. This book presents a comprehensive review of non-isolated DC-DC power converters for renewable energy systems, including multistage power converter topologies, X-Y converter family, Nx IMBC, CW-VM-MPC, and Z-source and quasi Z-source. Solutions are discussed to achieve maximum voltage conversion gain ratio by adapting passive/active components. Numerical and experimental results are in close agreement with theoretical hypotheses.

Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation is a remarkable example of large-scale electric power generation, achieved through the arrangement of numerous parallel solar cells or modules. However, to meet the demands of real-time applications or balance power demand from the electric grid, PV generation systems require power electronic converters. Consequently, a DC-DC power converter plays a crucial role in the intermediate conversion stage of PV power. Presented in this comprehensive 1st edition, the book delves into various non-isolated DC-DC power converters tailored for renewable energy system (RES) applications.

Through a detailed original investigation, the book presents obtained numerical/experimental results and guides the design of new families of converters. These include DC-DC multistage power converter topologies, Multistage X-Y converter family, Nx IMBC (Nx Interleaved Multilevel Boost Converter), Cockcroft Walton (CW) Voltage Multiplier-Based Multistage/Multilevel Power Converter (CW-VM-MPC) converter topologies, and Z-source and quasi Z-source converters.

The solutions discussed in this book aim to maximize voltage conversion gain ratio by adapting passive/active components within the circuits. To assess the effectiveness of these solutions, novel power converters are recommended based on their functionality and designs. These converters are tested and verified through numerical software, and their hardware prototype implementation is carried out using a flexible digital processor.

Numerical and experimental results consistently demonstrate close agreement with primary theoretical hypotheses, further reinforcing the reliability and validity of the proposed solutions.

This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field of renewable energy systems. It offers guidelines and recommendations for future development of DC-DC converters for RES applications, drawing upon the insights and expertise presented within its pages.
