dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the use of ripple correlation control as a maximum power point tracking algorithm with an interleaved SEPIC converter for use with a solar array. The suitability of existing topologies for use with photovoltaic applications and the tradeoffs involved are discussed. The advantages of interleaving in converters are examined and the benefits it provides to photovoltaic applications are discussed. An interleaved SEPIC converter operated in interleaved mode with a photovoltaic array is studied. The operation of ripple correlation control as a maximum power point tracking technique applied to the interleaved SEPIC converter is examined and simulations with results are presented.en
