Enhanced Power Output from the PV with Low Input Ripple DC-DC Converter
摘要： The primary objective of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for PV systems connected to a low-voltage DC grid is to extract the maximum possible power output from the PV array. Normally high-frequency switched mode power converters are employed to track the maximum power. These converters, however, impose switching frequency voltage ripple on the PV output. This causes fluctuation around the Maximum Power Point (MPP) and results in power loss. These losses can be reduced using electrolytic capacitors, however, the electrolytic capacitors’ lifespan is relatively shorter than that of a PV panel. In this paper, an interleaved boost converter is used to reduce high-frequency voltage ripple introduced on panel. Hence, smaller values of longer lifespan capacitors such as film capacitors will be sufficient to curtail the smaller ripple. Moreover, film capacitors are selected based on voltage ripple. Analysis was carried out for calculating voltage ripple imposed on PV module to select input filter more precisely. In addition, reduction in the voltage ripple is calculated quantitatively and is compared with that of a conventional boost converter. Enhanced power output from the PV panel is mathematically proven and experimentally demonstrated.

Inductive decoupling-based multi-channel LED driver without electrolytic capacitors
摘要： Light-emitting diode (LED) drivers in outdoor street lighting applications suffer from short-lifetime because of the prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as high operating temperature, high humidity etc. A long-lifetime multi-channel LED driver consisting of front-end AC–DC boost power factor correction (PFC) converter followed by a DC–DC power conversion stage with dimming capability for LED-based street light is proposed in this study. This LED driver uses an inductor-based auxiliary decoupling circuit at the output of the AC–DC converter for mitigating the double-line-frequency power ripple present in the DC bus. The inductive ripple power storage circuit has a longer lifetime than a conventional capacitive storage circuit which is usually implemented by electrolytic capacitors. A digital control method is proposed to realise the decoupling control along with PFC control by a single non-digital signal processor micro-controller ST STM32F103RBT6. The proposed LED driver for street lighting is analysed and validated on a 150?W test setup. A comparison of active decoupling AC–DC converters for eliminating secondary-harmonic power ripple is displayed.
