Design and Implementation of a Converter for Hybrid Energy Systems

Shilpa Murali, Dr. K Jamuna

Abstract: This paper focus on presenting the design of a fusion of CUK and Sepic converters for the hybrid model of solar and wind. Due to depletion of fossil fuels and global warming the energy production is reduced to a large extend. There exist the necessities to depend on the renewable sources of energy for power generation. But the output from these systems will be low.  A tracking system must be reliable and able to follow the sun and wind with a certain degree of accuracy MPPT methods can be implemented in order to track maximum power and thus solar and wind energy can be utilized in an efficient manner. MATLAB/SIMULINK were employed for simulation studies. Hardware model of Cuk converter has been done.

Keywords: Maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
