Power Converters for Extraction and Conversion of Solar Photovoltaic Energy

By Vivek Agarwal and Sachin Jain

Renewable energy alternatives are fast becoming viable options to battle conventional fossil fuel shortcomings such as pollution, cost, and limited reserves. Understanding the requirements and source characteristics for successful power electronics and their application is pivotal to extracting power successfully.

Power Converters for Extraction and Conversion of Solar Photovoltaic Energy provides a detailed analysis of the various power converter operations fed by solar PV energies. Practical aspects addressing the behavior of systems such as the operating point on source characteristics and when power converters buck or boost are considered as well, and are fundamental to effective use and applications of renewables.

With computer simulation models for typical systems to give the reader a deeper insight and "feel" for the actual system, this book provides readers with a useable tool to develop and design their own systems and achieve successful power extraction.
