Resumen:
This work presents a scheme of current balance implemented with ´Cuk converters for PV panels, which allow controlling the current that each cell generates and therefore drive each cell to its maximum power point (MPP). Ladder converterarchitectures offer substantial improvements compared to traditional solutions since each converter only needs to process the power difference between seriesconnected photovoltaic (PV) devices (module, substring, cells). A simple case, connecting just three PV cells is studied in this work. The strategy for balancingthe current produced by each cell is developed.The work includes the circuit topology under analysis, the control strategy for each converter and simulation results that validate the proposal.
