Analysis, design and simulation of an on-chip DC/DC/AC conversion system for PV applicationsAnalysis, design and simulation of an on-chip DC/DC/AC conversion system for PV applications Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2020-04-072019enThis paper presents the analysis and design procedure of a low voltage, reconfigurable, on-chip DC/DC - DC/AC power conversion system for PV applications. The whole work is carried out in the context of a novel smart PV system development, which is based on integrated PV cell inverters. Various power converter topologies are investigated in order the most appropriate for the DC/DC and DC/AC power stages to be selected. The synchronous boost DC/DC converter and the H-bridge inverter are the preferred solution, in terms of complexity, efficiency and cost. The specifications of the power conversion system are given, along with the theoretical analysis for the synchronous boost converter and H-bridge inverter operation. Moreover, the chip design process is presented, highlighting the design constraints and limitations obtained. Finally, in order the functionality of the above concept to be validated, PSpice simulations are carried out, indicating the high efficiency and low complexity of the proposed power conversion system.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/5th Panhellenic Conference on Electronics and Telecommunications Boubaris Alexandros Rigogiannis Nick Agorastou Zoi Papanikolaou Nick P.
