Photovoltaic systems are also among the renewable energy sources. These systems are a direct current source and cannot produce energy when there is no sunlight. In this study, performance analysis of the Hard Switching (HS) DC-DC boost converter and Soft Switching (SS) DC-DC boost converter in the literature with PID controller were performed on the photovoltaic system. The performance of the converters, which were simulated in Matlab/Simulink software was 18 and 24 V output voltage for 12-13 V input voltage. According to the results obtained from the study, the most successful results for a photovoltaic system with PID controller produced Hard Switching DC-DC boost converter.}, number={2}, publisher={Marmara University}
