Abstract



This paper presents another multifunctional converter called reconfigurable solar converter (RSC) for photovoltaic (PV)-battery application, especially utility-scale PV-battery application. The primary idea of the new converter is to utilize a solitary stage three stage grid-attach solar PV converter to perform dc/ac and dc/dc operations. This converter solution is appealing for PV-battery application, on the grounds that it minimizes the amount of conversion stages, accordingly enhancing productivity and lessening cost, weight, and volume. In this paper, a combination of dissection and test tests is utilized to exhibit the attractive execution characteristics of the proposed RSC.
