CUK Converter in Optimal Power Management of Smart Grid using PV System

Abstract

In this project Photo Voltaic (PV) cell which is a direct method of generating electricity using solar energy is used. This project is concerned with the optimal management of power in residential areas by using the energy generated by the PVC when it is in full swing operation. By doing so the energy which is consumed under normal conditions that is electricity from the grid, a nonrenewable source of energy (FOSSIL FUELS) can be saved. The main idea of this project revolves around the fact of saving electricity from the grid which is nonrenewable source of energy to the maximum by generating electricity using PVC that generates electricity using solar energy. But even by using PVC to generate electricity there is a small issue regarding the spillage or leakage that occurs. This spillage by using a CUK converter in the circuit which boosts the voltage generated by PVC to the required level of the voltage.This project is proposed to design a CUK converter for photovoltaic (PV) system using microcontroller.
