Abstract
Conversion of Energy plays a crucial role in present-day and requires efficient converter systems. In the conversion of energy process either AC can be converted to DC or DC can be converted to AC. The conversion of energy is done by Power electronic converters which play a key role in photovoltaic systems that are integrated with energy storage systems such as batteries. These converters allow efficient charging and discharging of batteries, voltage regulation, and synchronization with the grid. DC to DC conversion requires DC to DC converters. To obtain the maximum power from the converter the switching of the power electronics device plays a major role by controlling the time duration of the switch and the output power can be maximized. In this work particle swarm metaheuristic algorithm is used to generate the duty ratio and a PWM pulse generator is used to generate the triggering pulses for the switch. A detailed analysis of the ZETA converter is done with PV as input and EV as application. A 5-by-5 PV system with a Zeta converter is simulated in a MATLAB environment. The simulation results show that the ripples in output are minimal which supports the smooth and efficient charging of EV battery which promotes the use of clean energy.
