Abstract

The world’s total energy consumption is higher than its production. With respect to the efficiency, it is known that the conventional energy sources say fossil fuels, is used much more than the non-conventional energy sources. Due to the over-consumption of energy from fossil fuels, after few years it may extinct and thousands of years are needed to produce fossil fuels. Hence, non-conventional energy sources must be used as an alternative source of energy production. One of the renewable energy sources which are available in bulk is solar. But the energy production from solar is not as efficient as that of fossil fuels. Hence, a DC-DC converter has to be built to enhance the solar power. A DC-DC Flyback converter with soft-switching is been built which increases the output voltage of the solar power depending upon the Flyback transformer ratio.
