Abstract
As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to rise, Photovoltaic (PV) systems have gained significant attention as a sustainable solution for electricity generation. To maximize the efficiency and power output of standalone PV systems, effective Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques and efficient DC-DC converters are essential components. This study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of three DC-DC converters, namely boost, Cuk, and a switched inductor DC-DC (SIDC) converters integrated with an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based MPPT control strategy for standalone PV systems. The primary objective of this research is to assess the efficiency, reliability, and overall performance of these converters under varying environmental conditions. The boost converter, known for its simplicity and widespread use, is compared with the Cuk converter, recognized for its inherent voltage inversion capability, and the innovative SIDC converter, which offers unique advantages in terms of reduced switching losses and enhanced voltage step-up capabilities. The integration of ANFIS-based MPPT control is a key aspect of this study, which aims to dynamically track the maximum power point of the PV array, further improving the overall system performance. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the performance characteristics of these converters and their suitability for standalone PV systems. Factors such as efficiency stability are analyzed, enabling system designers and researchers to make informed decisions regarding converter selection and control strategies for specific PV applications.
