Abstract—Photovoltaic power conditioning requires efficient power conversion and maximum power point tracking to counteract the effects of panel mismatch, shading, and general variance in power output during a daily cycle. An integrated boost resonant converter with low component count, galvanic isolation, as well as high efficiency across a wide input and load range is proposed in this paper. The proposed circuit is simulated using Matlab/Simulink and the results are obtained.
