Renewable energy is now a in demand by the world due to massive population growth and development in countries. To supply the electricity required to do these, natural resources like oil and gas have to be depleted to exchange for it. Combustion of above fossil fuels will lead to pollutions which lead to further implications like global warming and health issues to humans on long term. One of the popular sources of renewable energy is from the sun, the solar energy. Given modern techniques, we will be able to convert solar energy to electrical energy through DC-DC converter. In this report we will be introducing different types of isolated DC-DC converters available and discussing on the results given from the individual converters.
