A Review of Converter Topologies for Sustainable Lighting Systems

Abstract

The global current interest is to include renewable energy systems in as many applications as possible. One area where the implementation of renewable energies is feasible is within various lighting systems, whether they are public or private. These lighting setups typically consist of multiple components. Firstly, there is the renewable energy generation system, with solar panels and windmills being the most prevalent options. Secondly, a storage method may be employed. Additionally, LED lighting fixtures are essential. Lastly, a conversion system is required to interconnect these elements, notably utilizing an LED driver at the load input to power it. Throughout this project, a comprehensive analysis of the primary converter system topologies has been conducted, exploring their common applications, suitability, and integration with renewable energy systems.
