Off - Grid Power Supply Solution for Portable Cabins using Solar PV System for Qatar

Abstract

In this project, a new system for power supply for remote areas has been proposed. In the proposed system, solar PV based system with battery storage for stand-along application has been discussed. In addition, the use of a multilevel inverter and high-gain DC/DC converter has been proposed. The proposed multilevel inverter generates a nine-level output voltage waveform with quadruple voltage gain. The proposed DC/DC converter is based on the concept of a switched-inductor with voltage lift switched-capacitor and has been verified for a voltage gain of 20. The experimental results confirmation the satisfactory performance for stand-alone applications of the proposed converters.
