A High Voltage Gain SEPIC Converter For Grid Connected PV Application

Abstract

This paper proposes an implementation of Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) and Voltage Source Inverter for an Induction Motor using Photovoltaic energy as a source. Generally the larger number of drives employed for industrial and commercial applications are induction motor drives. In this paper SEPIC converter (DC-DC converter) with grid connected and induction motor applications, a voltage source inverter with sinusoidal pulse width modulation is implemented on it to attain sufficient voltage to drive three phase induction motor. The simulation work of these SEPIC converter and voltage source inverter fed induction motor circuits have been done using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
