Abstract The increasing demand of load on hybrid converter is requires a moderate power flow structure and circuit in present scenario. This paper initiates a moderate power flow structure of Cuk and SEPIC is implemented for photovoltaic and fuel cell power generation. The proposed moderate hybrid structure of Cuk and SEPIC converter applied to tolerate discontinue operation of PV and Fuel cell power generation. The proposed converter circuit is used to drawn power regularly from photovoltaic and fuel cell in every modes of operation and reaches maximum efficiency. The familiar method of P&O algorithm is implemented in digital form using FPGA tools. This digital MPPT control circuit provides high efficiency in photovoltaic power extraction. The proposed circuit configuration is analyses for low, medium and high power capacity of Photovoltaic cell. The analyses reports shows present configuration circuit is has high efficiency in medium to high power rating of PV and fuel cell power generation. Implementation of this topology exposed by digital form of FPGA controller and results are compared with simulation results.
