INTRODUCTION

PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
In fig. 1, the basic form of the designed system has been
shown. Cuk converter has been used in this particular system
with a view to extract solar power out of PV arrays with the
greatest stability. MPPT algorithm is used for the purpose of
assessing the duty cycles of cuk. In this system, Perturb and
Observe (P & O) algorithm have been used as it is comparably
practical and easy to implement [5]. For this particular
algorithm, voltage and current are taken as reference and these
are used to calculate extracted power from PV side
continuously. If the power is greater than the previous
calculated power, the duty cycle of the converter will climb
up; otherwise, the duty cycle will be decreased according to
this algorithm. Thus it changes the pulse width as well as the
output voltage to track the maximum power point.

SIMULINK MODEL OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
Cuk converter is actually a fourth order dc/dc converter as
it has generally four energy storage components. The MPPT
based PV module designed in SIMLULINK is shown in fig. 4.
The cuk converter consists of an input dc voltage source V1,

2 second and stay there for 0.86 second. After that from 2.86
second to 4.29 second it stays in 900 W/m2, then rises to 1000
W/m2 and stays there until 8.57second. Lastly, the illumination
level drops to 400 W/m2 and stays there until 10second.
The output power of cuk converter is shown in TABLE I for
different irradiance levels which is very much satisfactory. For
example, the result shows that at irradiance, G = 1000 W/m2
and 600 W/m2, the output power is 96.89W and 46.32W
respectively. The input and output power of cuk converter for
both for variable irradiance levels and fixed irradiance level
i.e. 1000 W/m2 are represented graphically in fig. 5 and fig. 6
respectively.
V. RIPPLE CONTENT
The percent ripple exists in current in both PV side and load
side is computed by the equation below-

The average value of the current ripple in the PV side for the
SEPIC is about 5.50A and current ripple is 13.63% of the
average value. On the contrary, for cuk converter based MPPT
system, the average value of the peak current is 5.4735A and
the current ripple is 0.04567% of the average value. This can
be considered as ripple free system. The ripple current
characteristic is shown in the fig. 7 and fig. 8 for irradiance
level 1000W/m2. By this way, this cuk converter based MPPT
system is much better than conventional SEPIC based MPPT
system.
VI. EFFICIENCY
MPPT Efficiency is the ratio of the extracted maximum power
from the PV array to the power at the MPP.

CONCLUSION
In this system, cuk converter based MPPT system is
developed and simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Almost
ripple free output has been generated. By comparing with
SEPIC based MPPT system and Cuk based existing system, it
has been found that the overall efficiency of this cuk converter
based MPPT is improvised and ripple characteristics is far better
than the SEPIC.
