Abstract: Power systems design, layout and computation for Photovoltaics forms the basis of national
action plan for Solar India. Power switching converters are used in numerous solar based applications.
The rapid increase in standalone and grid based structures employ circuit regulation using Buck, Boost and
Buck-Boost Converters. In this perspective, electricity generation and supply is required to adapt changes
relative to duty cycle for continuous and discrete time systems. An effort is made in this paper to visualize
potential of converters in meeting global energy requirements. Analysis of power electronic converters is
carried out in continuous and discrete Simulink environment considering effect of phase delay. Duty cycle
and efficiency calculations for 60W panel using 36 solar cells are compared.
Keywords: Solar India, Power switching converters, standalone and grid structures, Duty cycle,
Efficiency, Simulink.

3. COMPARISONS
The modelling performance of three different
converters is studied based on four modelling
constraints. It can be concluded that prior to voltage
boosting, reducing or both actions Boost, Buck or
Buck-Boost converter is selected. Phase delay affects
the results by introduction of oscillations. Since for
variable step solver in continuous systems output is
not available the behaviour of circuits in discrete
steps
becomes
compulsory.
By analyzing
performance it can be determined that Buck
converter output is almost same for delay or no delay
circuit for 36 cells solar panel. Boost converter
reduces output of phase delay circuit. Buck-Boost
converter can help in achieving dual purpose with
inverted outputs. Thus while choosing converter for a
specified application, choice of model must be
selective to achieve appropriate responses.

4. FUTURE WORK
Solar Converters work as best renewable power
sources for charging battery or operation of
appliances. Studies could be made prior to analyse
efficiency and determine losses in converters. Design
and development of advanced lossless converters
with appropriate duty cycle can be considered for
further research in varying panel sizes.
