High-Efficiency DC–DC Converter With Fast Dynamic Response for Low-Voltage Photovoltaic Sources

This paper proposes a high-efficiency dc-dc converter with fast dynamic response for low-voltage photovoltaic (PV) sources. The voltage stress of power switches is reduced at low-voltage side. Zero-current turn-off of output diodes is achieved at high-voltage side. Power efficiency is improved by reducing switching power losses. A modified proportional and integral controller is also suggested to achieve fast output voltage control. The dynamic response of the proposed converter is improved. The performance of the proposed converter is verified based on an experimental prototype for a 200-W PV module.
