The Photovoltaic Module Fed Push Pull Converter with MPPT Controller for Solar Energy Applications

In this paper, a Photovoltaic module fed Push Pull converter is proposed. The push pull converter does the effective utilisation of the renewable energy-Solar energy. A push pull converter possesses certain distinctive features such as low transformer flux, high power density and reduced cost. The solar photovoltaic module supplies input to the push pull converter obtained from the sun's energy and along with it the MPPT controller is also connected. The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is analysed for this converter and also when the filter is connected to this converter the harmonics gets reduced. The output obtained from the photovoltaic module is used for certain applications of solar energy such as powering lighting facilities for rural homes, traffic signals, lighthouses, battery charging. The push-pull converter enhances the efficiency of the power system. The proposed photovoltaic module push pull converter focuses upon using the renewable energy in an efficient way without polluting the environment and also on the technological upliftment of PV module applications.
