A PV Battery Charging System Based on Extremum-Seeking Control and a Series Resonant Converter with Capacitive Galvanic Isolation
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper presents a standalone system that utilizes a capacitive isolated series resonant converter using an extremum-seeking control algorithm to extract the maximum power from PV panels. While resonant converters have been used for battery charging applications, series resonant converters that utilize capacitive galvanic isolation have not been sufficiently explored, and their design considerations for battery charging have not been established. In addition, extremum-seeking control algorithms have been explored for maximum power point tracking using PWM converters, but not using PFM converters such as resonant converters. This paper lays out the advantages of using an extremum-seeking-based control algorithm with resonant converters, specifically series resonant converters, and it presents simulation results of a 200 W standalone battery charging system to validate the stated benefits.
