Dynamic analysis of the input-controlled buck converter fed by a photovoltaic array

The control of the input voltage of DC-DC converters is frequently required in photovoltaic applications. In this spe cial situation, unlike conventional converters, the output vol tage is constant and the input voltage is controlled. This paper deals with the analysis and the control of the buck converter with constant output voltage and variable input.
