COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HYBRID BOOST CONVERTER PERFORMANCE WITH AND WITHOUT SOLAR PV SYSTEMS

The paper compares the performance of boost converter integrated with photovoltaic conventional boost (PV) with converter.Boost converters have an efficient voltage increase, making them applicable in power transmission as they minimize losses and enhance efficiency. They are also widely applied in a variety of applications such as renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and industrial power supplies.This paper gives an overview of the operating characteristics, efficiency,and stability of the presented converter under different duty ratio.The transformation from traditional hybrid boost converters to solar fed hybrid boost converters is fueled by the demand for clean and efficient energy systems. Solar power, as renewable and bountiful, diminishes fossil fuel reliance, lowers carbon footprint, and maximizes energy efficiency. Solar-fed converters provide better performance, more precise voltage regulation, and less operating cost. Additionally, integrating solar power into hybrid boost converters enhances reliability, supports clean energy adoption, and aligns with global efforts toward green and sustainable energy systems. We designed conventional hybrid boost converter and solar fed hybrid boost converter in Simulink platform. The output voltage and output current is observed with change in duty ratio for the both the cases. The comparative study emphasizes the changes in operation and output of the converter on implementation of solar panel with converter.
