Stand Alone Power Generation using PV Array System

Abstract

This thesis covers the research and design of Single Active Bridge (SAB) converters for use in inverters, rectifiers, and high frequency transformers. The motive of this project is to harness the power of the sun and convert it into an AC source that can be used in your home or business. This can be done with an array of solar panels and a device called a photovoltaic cell (PV module), which converts the light energy into electricity. The PV cells are ideal for use in remote locations where no connection to electricity is available, such as solar powered airports, offices, or campgrounds. This study is expected to create instruments for more efficient energy delivery and consumption, particularly in rural areas. This study considers the power efficiency of a 100W load system. The ambition is to support the power needs of an apartment by using photovoltaic panels to generate solar energy. To do so efficiently, we will have to consider the load requirements and size of the system required to meet those demands. Using the full-wave rectifier for the secondary side, the gate pulses supplied by square wave PWM and an H-bridge inverter as the primary side, you can create a unique single phase high-frequency transformer with a suggested architecture of the inverter. The electricity is conducted from the primary to the secondary side of a high frequency transformer. The SAB converter serves as a boost stage for DC voltage, converting LV to HV based on the gain/turns ratio. After sending the output of the inverter through an LC filter, to remove distortion and achieve up to sinusoidal 220V rms. The single active bridge (SAB) is an innovative DC/DC converter that exhibits more complex behavior than its standard counterparts. The SAB's static behavior differs significantly from that of similar DC/DC converters and can provide interesting advantages in certain applications. People living in off-grid communities will be able to improve their standard of living because of our proposed solar hybrid solution.
