These experimental
results indicate that the prototype of PV-DCBM-based BIPV
system works well and exhibits good dynamic and steady-state
performance.
The efficiency measurements for the PV-DCBM prototype at
36 V input and centralized inverter prototype at 200 V input
are summarized in Fig. 17(a) and (b). Fig. 17(a) shows that the
peak efficiency of the PV-DCBM prototype is 94.1% and the
efficiency along a wide load range is above 93%. As can be
seen from the Fig. 17(b), the peak efficiency of the centralized
inverter prototype is 97.4% and the efficiency along a wide load
range is above 96.5%. The efficiency of the whole system is
