Développement and test of a photovoltaique conversion chain

Abstract

This paper presents the design and test of a photovoltaic conversion chain that includes: — A single phase and thermoelectric cooling micro inverter using a DC-DC interleaved isolated boost. — A photovoltaic charger that is designed to regulate the battery charging. The object is to focus on the optimization of (DC/DC and DC/AC) converters performances and its physical dimensions, and to develop an efficient method to track the maximum power point and the load regulation. For this purpose, a specific architecture and design of a high-reliable, robust, stable and miniaturized system are proposed.
