Abstract :
The object of this paper is to design, simulate and compare the performance of different dc-dc converters in solar energy systems. This is designed for using single phase asynchronous motors in home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerator etc. and is simulated in MATLAB 8.1 using simulink, SimPower system. Perturb and Observe algorithm is used as MPPT algorithm to achieve the maximum power transfer from solar array. The PV input voltage is fed to the dc-dc converter and given to the single phase inverter.
