Renewable energy system gain more importance now a days with the depletion of non-renewable energy sources.This paper utilizes an eco-friendly source, that is solar system and introduces a new multi rectifier stage for multi applications. The proposed topology consists of a rectifier stage as fusion of two CUK converters, and an inverter at its output. An MPPT algorithm is used here to track maximum power output of the PV system. Different MPPT algorithms are there; among these the most accurate and simplest method called incremental conductance method is utilized to track maximum power point. Matlab/Simulink model is used to verify the operation and performance of this converter. Simulation results obtained also included in this paper.
