Analysis of integrated Boost-Cuk high voltage gain DC-DC converter with RBFN MPPT for solar PV application

In this paper, analysis an integrated Boost-Cuk converter with RBFN based MPPT technique has been presented for the solar PV application. In renewable energy sources, extracting maximum power and boosting the voltage to the desired level with low stress on power semiconductor switches are the main two main targets. The developed converter utilizes a single control switch for obtaining the higher transfer gain (M), compared to the conventional Boost and Cuk individual converter gains. This study considers a 568W PV panel and the MATLAB/Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the integrated converter with the RBFN based MPPT control system.
