Power interface efficiency evaluation for photovoltaic system used in hydrogen production

Abstract

In this work, we will compare between two types of converters Cuk and SEPIC because they are the most widely used and are two of the developed family of the converter. This paper presents under MATLAB/Simulink the use of CUK converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology, to increase its efficiency by an algorithm Perturb and Observe (P&O) and incremental conductance method, then we will apply artificial neural network (ANN) to avoid the disadvantages of MPPT Classical. The MPPT developed presents a better behavior than the P&O system
