Solar-Based DC-DC Converter Comprehensive Review of Non-Isolated, Isolated and Optimization Techniques

In this paper, the proposed work provided a comprehensive review of non-isolated, isolated and optimization techniques for Direct Current (DC) to DC converters. This survey work is focused on their application in solar Photovoltaic (PV) based renewable energy systems. An important reason for considering these converters is that, critical components in power electronics are used to efficiently manage energy conversion and distribution. The DC-DC converter is categorized as a non-isolated and isolated DC-DC converter. The non-isolated converters are used where a direct electrical connection between input and output is acceptable, which makes it simpler and more efficient. Also, isolated DC-DC converters provide an electrical partition between input and output in high-voltage applications or where noise isolation is necessary. Also, optimization methods are used to improve the performance and efficiency of DC-DC converters. These techniques maximize energy extraction and minimize the losses especially renewable energy systems to ensure optimal operation. Overall, the review provides the latest advancements in DC-DC converter and optimization strategies. The significant improvement is the efficiency and effectiveness of renewable energy systems.
