Abstract

The design, simulation, and analysis of the Single- ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC), one of the least known Switch mode power converters, are presented in this study. By adjusting the switching element's duty cycle, this dc-dc converter may be utilized as a buck-boost converter. With minimal strain on components, SEPIC offers the specific benefit of offering positive polarity output voltage and ripple-free input and output current. This contrasts with conventional buck-boost converters, which have negative polarity output voltage along with extremely irregular currents and increased component stress. This makes it perfect for both commercial and personal uses, such as smart home gadgets that use PV energy. Under various input circumstances, extensive simulation has been performed in continuous conduction mode (CCM) utilizing SIMULINK-MATLAB. A PI controller has been added to optimize the responsiveness, reduce steady state error, and keep the output voltage constant. The SEPIC converter's hardware implementation verifies the simulation's findings.
