Abstract

This paper accords an intelligent controller based 3-level SEPIC configuration for energy transformation in the solar PV system. An artificial intelligence based radial basis function network is engaged as a control algorithm for the maximum power extraction and the converter control can be done based on the duty cycle generated by the controller. In this system, a SEPIC topology is used for high voltage gain with reduced switching losses. In this paper, an RBFN controller based 3-level SEPIC topology is designed for 1.2kW solar PV system over the traditional P & O (Perturb & Observe) control method and the comparative result analysis is done though the simulation output for the corresponding input parameters.
