A dataset of an extended SEPIC DC-DC converter for micro-grid based photovoltaic (PV) applications

A single-ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter was designed and incorporated with a photovoltaic (PV) panel in this article. A dataset of voltage gain at the expense of varied values of duty-cycle was generated. Besides, a data of voltage stress across the semiconductor components were obtained to determine the feasibility of the components used in designing the extended SEPIC converter. One of the aims of generating these data was to boost the low energy generated by the panel to a higher energy value with less complexity. For voltage gain data, a duty-cycle value was varied from 0.5 to 0.9 (50% to 90%) and the data obtained for the voltage gain was recorded. For voltage stress data, a voltage across individual active component of the converter was measured. These data could be reused by researchers interested in incorporating PV panel with a DC-DC boost converter for off-grid modelling.
