A novel on high voltage gain boost converter with cuckoo search optimization based MPPTController for solar PV system.

Traditionally, isolated and non-isolated boost converters are used for solar photovoltaic systems (SPV). These converters have limitations such as low voltage gain, less voltage ripples, temperature dependence, high voltage stress across the switches, and being bulky in size. Besides, the solar PV system also has non-linear characteristics between I-V and P-V, and the energy yield potential is affected by partial shading phenomena.
