Despite concerns over anthropogenic climate change, many societies are still reluctant to give up fossil fuels and resource-intensive technologies. As countries continue to develop, the global demand for energy, transportation, and consumer electronics will further increase. This research addresses these demands by utilizing solar photovoltaic (PV) sources to provide clean power for the power grid and to directly power personal electronic devices. This work develops power electronics and control methods to effectively leverage PV power for a range of mobile electronic applications. Two primary applications are grid-connected PV systems and wearable electronics. In today’s market, panel prices are decreasing while PV efficiencies are increasing. These applications can benefit from integrated PV cells that provide power from ambient light sources. Given the advances in PV materials, lower costs, and growing demand for renewable energy sources, the current market is prime to transform PV energy into a viable source for both established applications, like grid-connected PV system, and emerging applications, like wearable electronics. In solar PV systems connected to the ac power grid, PV panels are typically connected in series strings with one central converter to control and process the PV’s power. However, it is well known through research that imbalances or mismatch in the PV cell characteristics often result in extremely low system efficiency. This mismatch typically occurs due to different light incidence angles, partial shading, cell aging, material degradation, etc. The concept of differential power processing (DPP) converters are utilized to enable PV power for mismatched conditions. DPP converters allow for independent MPPT of each PV panel while only processing a portion of the total PV power. DPP converter approaches in series and parallel configurations have been studied, along with their advantages and trade-offs. Two major areas studies in this research are DPP converters for grid-connected PV panels and a wearable bag application. For grid-connected PV panels, differential power processing (DPP) for PV systems can achieve high system efficiency and maintain maximum power production even under mismatched conditions. However, DPP in large systems have challenges of complicated wire connections and high voltage ratings. The segmented DPP structure has been proposed as a scalable approach that utilizes groups of bidirectional DPP power converters to achieve maximum power point operation while minimizing converter power loss. Groups of a few DPP converters are combined into a segmented DPP unit with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control to maximize output power of the unit. The segmented DPP system and control algorithm have been verified through simulation and hardware experimentation. Simulation results verified the effectiveness of the control algorithm with multiple segmented DPP units operating with an inverter. Experimental results verify that system efficiency of the segmented DPP unit is maintained over 92% even in severe partial shading conditions and shows an increase of up to 14% in uneven lighting conditions compared to an equivalent series-connected PV system. Future work includes increasing converter efficiency and output power through converter and control algorithm optimization. For wearable applications, recent advances in flexible thin-film PV cells have allowed for their utilization in a wider range of applications. Emerging applications such as wearable and biomedical devices often rely solely on batteries that are troublesome to replace. Powering these kinds of applications from ambient solar energy can improve reliability and reduce battery reliance. However, wearable applications experience varying light intensities over multiple PV cells that severely reduce PV power generation in traditional series string configurations. Again, the concept of differential power processing (DPP) system configuration is used to optimize PV power utilization under these nonuniform lighting conditions. In systems where the output voltage is lower, as in the wearable bag application that required 5 V output, a parallel DPP system is more effective than a series DPP system used in grid-connected solar applications. Also, the parallel DPP converter solution has been found to be more effective for PV power for applications where non-uniform light intensities are expected. For the PV-powered bag application, a parallel DPP configuration is used along with a dc-dc converter. This DPP converter is implemented utilizing a low-power single-ended primary-inductor converter at 200 kHz switching frequency. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of each PV is independently achieved to maximize generated PV power and efficiently charge the load. A system control strategy that achieves both MPPT and power curtailment is implemented to achieve power balance of the load and PV source. Experimental results verify that the system control independently maximizes each PV panel and properly balances the power, while staying with an acceptable temperature range. System efficiency of the parallel DPP architecture was improved 14.9% compared to the SEPIC efficiency. Future work includes increasing the efficiency of the converter, reducing controller power loss, and reducing the total size of the system.
