 INTRODUCTION

 Solar absorbed light is transferred to the electrons of the PV cell atoms exiting
them and producing the electrical current with the help of a “built-in electric
field”.

 The “Built-in electrical field” is created by two layers of semiconductor

material: n-type with excess of negative electrons and p-type with excess of
positive holes.

 Most commonly used semiconductor material is silicon,

 In this prototype we are using solar energy in order to charge the battery used
as supply to the circuit.

 Here the supply is given by the battery which is 24V dc supply and this is
boosted up to a certain level and given to the inverter circuit which gives the
utility supply (230V, 50Hz) required for various purpose.

DC voltage boost up is essential in numerous applications; especially considering

Photovoltaic (PV) based renewable power generation system. The conventional DC-DC
boost converter is the most admired configuration for this scheme, even if the converter
efficiency is restricted at duty cycle near to maximum value.

Single phase inverters are of three types i.e. square wave inverter, modified
sine wave inverter and pure sine inverter. electricity generation system from
solar that composed of the PV panels capture the energy from sun light the
panels must be enough to cover the power needed.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE
PROJECT
 Effective photovoltaic power conditioning requires efficient power conversion
and accurate maximum power point tracking to counteract the effects of panel
mismatch, shading, and general variance in power output during a daily cycle.
 Our main objective is to harness renewable energy (solar energy) and to
utilize it up to maximum level in this prototype.
 In this prototype we are using solar panel/battery or both together as the input.
 So by this model we are going to obtain utility supply (230V,50HZ) at the
output.
 Hence we can say we can obtain sufficient output to light up led bulbs and
charge mobiles etc, by using renewable energy source.

the current in the input inductor L flows into the body
diode of Q1 , discharging its parasitic capacitance. This
allows Q1 to be turned ON under ZVS conditions at t0. At
this time, the upper input-side capacitor C1 begins
resonating with the transformer leakage inductance Lk and
the output-side capacitors, C3 and C4 , through D1 .
Simultaneously, the input current begins charging the
series combination of C1 and C2 . During this phase, Q1
carries the difference between the transformer current,
flowing from C1 through the positive terminal of the
transformer and the input current. Once the transformer
current resonates back to zero, D1 prevents the continued

which is shown in Fig. 4(b). The resonant elements all
conduct zero current during this interval. Only C5 continues
discharging into the load at this time. Mode 2 ends with
the turn-off of Q1 and the subsequent turn-on of Q2 .
Mode 3 [(c)]: After the turn-off of Q1 , but prior the turn-on of
Q2 , the inductor current is still shunted into charging the series
combination of C1 and C2, this time through the body diode of
Q1 , and still decreasing almost linearly. When Q2 is turned ON,
the body diode of Q1 is hard commutated, causing some
switching loss. At t2 , C2 begins to resonate with Lk and the
parallel combination of C3 and C4 , through the diode D2 .
Simultaneously, the inductor current also flows through Q2 ,
increasing linearly. During this interval, Q2 carries the sum of
the transformer current and the inductor current. Thus, the rms
current through Q2 is significantly larger than that of Q1 , which
carries the difference of the two currents. Once the
transformer current resonates back to zero, D2 blocks the

 CONCLUSION
As a solution for providing efficient, distributed PV conversion, an isolated boost
resonant converter has been proposed. The system is a hybrid between a traditional CCM
boost converter and a series-resonant half-bridge, employing only two active switches.
The synthesis of the converter was described along with the circuit operating modes and
key waveforms.
The result was a simple process. The principle advantages of utilizing this topology were
as follows:
• High weighted efficiency because of low circulating energy and reduced switching loss
with resonant energy transfer and output diode ZCS;
• Low potential cost due to minimal number of active devices and a small overall
component count;
• Galvanic isolation allows for the use of high efficiency inverter stages without
additional concern over ground leakage current;
• Reduced control complexity provides lower auxiliary power loss and simpler controller
IC configurations.

Further efficiency improvements are possible with the addition of wide band gap
semiconductor devices and passive component optimization.
