APPLICATION OF POWER ELECTRONICS IN SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for optimizing energy conversion, storage, and management in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems using advanced power electronics. The system includes solar panels, DC-DC converters, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controllers, energy storage units, and inverters, all managed by a central control system. The MPPT controller ensures maximum energy extraction by dynamically adjusting the DC-DC converter based on real-time environmental data. Excess energy is stored in batteries for later use, while the inverter converts DC power to AC for grid integration or direct consumption. The system is scalable and adaptable, suitable for residential, commercial, and large-scale solar installations, providing improved efficiency, reduced energy losses, and seamless grid synchronization. The invention also features predictive control algorithms that optimize energy flow and enhance the overall performance of the solar PV system.
