Abstract

In this paper a high step-up dc-dc voltage converter is proposed. The proposed converter employs coupled inductors and voltage extension capacitors for obtaining a high voltage gain. The coupled inductors and extension capacitors are merged in traditional interleaved boost converters to get the additional advantage of high step-up voltage conversion ratio and reduced voltage stress on switches along with existing features of interleaved boost converters. The main operating principle of the proposed converter is discussed and the key principle waveforms and equations are analysed. A simulation in PSIM is carried out for the proposed converter as well as traditional interleaved boost converter for the same parameters which shows that the proposed converter has better performance as compared to the traditional interleaved boost converter. Finally, an experiment is carried on a 32 W, 20 V input, 160 V output prototype in the laboratory for experimental validation of the proposed converter. Important future directions have also been given for future research on the proposed topology.
