Abstract

In today's energy systems, many equipment operate with Direct Current (DC) voltage. However, it is not always possible to obtain the voltage level required for the operation of these equipment from standard power supplies. For this reason DC-DC converters are used to achieve the desired voltage values for equipment with different DC voltage levels. These converters are divided into three general categories, named Buck, Boost and Buck-Boost. The most preferred converter is the Cuk converter with low output ripple voltage, which can operate in both buck and boost modes. In this study, a detailed analysis of the Cuk converter, which is frequently used in Photovoltaic (PV) Panels was performed and different control methods of the output voltage were proposed. While performing this analysis, the dynamic model of the Cuk converter was created in which, Proportional-Integral (PI) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) are used to control the output voltage of the Cuk converter. The performances of both controllers were compared with respect to performance parameters such as steady state error, settling time and rise time. When the results obtained were evaluated as a whole, it was observed that FLC achieved the desired reference with less rise and settling time. In this study, modeling and controller applications of Cuk converter are realized by using MATLAB / SIMULINK program
