Control of a Boost Converter to Improve the Performance of a Photovoltaic System in a Microgrid

In this work, the analysis of a CD-CD converter type Boost is presented. This converter works in Discontinuous Conduction Mode; In addition, the design of its control loops is performed, using an Average Current Mode control. The Boost converter is part of a photovoltaic generation system using solar panels. The photovoltaic system is established in a microgrid, with which the inverter works in grid mode and island mode. The main objective of the Boost convertor is to raise and regulate the voting from the solar panels to feed a single-bridge full-bridge inverter. The controllers designed for the boost converter are validated by simulation. The results obtained prove that the designed controller has an acceptable transient response to disturbances in the system input and adequately analyzing overdrafts and establishment times when disturbances are generated.
