Abstract

In this paper a PO based MPPT is designed for solar photovoltaic system along with interleaved boost converter and boost converter is employed for fuel cell. Maximum power of the solar panel varies with respect to the temperature and solar radiation. By the manipulation of the duty cycle maximum power can be tracked. Then this hybrid photovoltaic- Fuel cell based system is studied under various load conditions for the mitigation of voltage sag in the power systems. The control strategy developed for the mitigation of voltage sag is by PI controller. The simulation is performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK under different load conditions and the results are presented.
