Design and Simulation of Fuzzybased DC-DC Interleaved Zeta Converter for Photovoltaic Applications

This paper presents the design and simulation of Fuzzy based DC-DC Interleaved Zeta converter for photovoitaic and renewable energy applications. The conventional converter doesn't meet the basic requirements like high efficiency, less losses and fewer ripples. In order to achieve the better performance the Interleaved DC-DC Zeta converter has been operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and also can be able to do step-up or step down DC output voltage with high efficiency. This Fuzzy based DC-DC Interleaved Zeta converter is best suitable for the renewable energy resources like solar photovoitaic applications and wind power. The operating principle of the Interleaved Zeta converter and analysis based on steady-state and dynamic has been done in this work. A lOOW, 48V load has been designed and simulated to ensure the feasibility and performance of this converter.
