A Topology-Morphing Series Resonant Converter for Photovoltaic Module Applications (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Sergentanis, G., De Lillo, L., Empringham, L., & Johnson, C. M. (2022). A Topology-Morphing Series Resonant Converter for Photovoltaic Module Applications. In 2022 24th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (EPE'22 ECCE Europe)

Residential solar photovoltaic (PV) installations frequently use power optimizers to increase their energy production. In this application, the ability to regulate a wide range of voltage with high efficiency is highly desirable. Thus, this paper pro...
