Comparative Study on the Performances of PV System with Various Combinations of Converter Topologies and PWM Types

Increasing demand for electricity generated from renewable energy sources forced power utility provider to develop more and larger power plant. In Malaysia, among renewable energy sources, photovoltaic (PV) is the most reliable. Hence, large-scale PV power plants have been developed and many more to...
