Performance analysis of boost & Cuk converter in MPPT based PV system

Photovoltaic (PV) cell based power generation is best alternative developing for fossil fuel as it does not have pollution issues. This paper focuses on performance of boost and Cuk DC/DC converter, used in MPPT based PV system. Perturb and Observe (P&O) technique used to generate duty cycle of converters. The simulation study is performed using MATLAB/Simulink for the PV system and it has been observed that the Cuk converter produces better results compared with boost converter.
