The Flyback converter topology is a well-known and widely used for AC-DC and DC-DC power converters that cover a broad-spectrum including switching power supplies, photovoltaic (PV) system, electric cars, and fuel cell-based generation systems, and among other applications. In this work, Active Clamp Flyback (ACF) and Interleaved Active Clamp (IACF) converters are designed and simulated for the use of DC-DC converters of PV system applications. Two control systems are used to control the output voltage of the DC-DC converters for various PV conditions, which are PID (proportional integral derivatives) and FLC (fuzzy logic controller). MATLAB/SIMULINK is used to model and simulate the proposed system, where the proposed control systems are developed to regulate the output voltage for the load requirements. The simulation results of the proposed PV systems indicate that the output voltage stabilizes effectively to the required voltage (24 V) for various loads/applications while the input voltage (output from the solar panel) to the converters is varying regrading to different sun radiation levels and other parameters. The efficiency of ACF and IACF converters are found to be 88% and 90%, respectively.
