This paper presents a DSP-based differential boost inverter (DBI) with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) applications. In a conventional DC/AC MPPT system, power of photovoltaic is delivered into two stages, they are DC/DC boost converter and buck type DC/AC inverter. A DC link capacitor appears between these two stages. Furthermore the system has higher complexity and costly...
It is recognized that a small percentage difference in the efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) inverters causes a substantial variation in their cost. This is understandable because a PV inverter is expected to be in service for a good number of years (possibly as long as the PV modules themselves) and therefore the total energy yield that can be extracted using the inverter need to be considered in...

Photovoltaic (PV) plant performance, among many factors, depends on inverter tracking of the maximum power point and its energy conversion efficiency.

Performance of photovoltaic systems greatly depends on climate conditions. Apart from values of solar radiation, its variations can also have an influence on energy yield from a PV-system. In less favourable climate conditions (e.g. in central Europe), highly varying radiation is very frequent and the electrical converters (i.e. inverters, DC-DC converters) should be able to follow the irradiance...
