Standalone PV-fed LED Street Lighting Using Resonant Converter

This paper proposes a single-stage, single-switch, non-isolated step-up converter with resonant inverter for a standalone photovoltaic battery-powered light-emitting diode (LED) street light. The LED driver presented in this paper integrates a high step-up DC–DC converter with coupled inductors and LCC resonant converter into a single-stage conversion circuit topology. The proposed converter is a compact cost-effective driver for powering a 60 W LED Street light with a battery backup charged from PV array of 12 V. The modes of operation and analysis of the proposed converter are explained. The design of the circuit elements is done based on the theoretical analysis. The proposed circuit has been simulated, and prototype has been developed to demonstrate its feasibility.
