Power Balance 조건을 이용한 부스트 컨버터의 효율 분석

Solar array has the following nonlinear characteristic, such as whose output current increases, output voltage is reduced. For this reason, boost converter with solar array system is always controlled to remain on the maximum power point of the solar array. In this case, we are not focused on the output of the solar array and not consider efficiency of the boost converter, which is assumed reliable. But efficiency of the converter also should be considered, which affects the total efficiency of the overall solar energy system. In this paper, efficiency calculation of the boost converter using power balance method is proposed, which will be used for a powerful reference before hardware realization.
