Novel High Step-Up DC-DC Converter With Coupled-Inductor and Switched-Capacitor Techniques

A novel high step-up DC-DC converter with coupled-inductor and switched-capacitor techniques is proposed in this paper. The capacitors are charged in parallel and are discharged in series by the coupled inductor, stacking on the output capacitor. Thus, the proposed converter can achieve high step-up voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio. Besides, the voltage spike on the main switch can be c...

A Buck-Boost Converter-Based Bipolar Pulse Generator

This paper presents a buck-boost converter-based bipolar pulse generator, which is able to generate bipolar exponential pulses across a resistive load. The concept of the proposed approach depends on operating the involved buck-boost converters in discontinuous current conduction mode with high-voltage gain and enhanced efficiency. A full design of the pulse generator and its passive components...

High Step up Switched Capacitor Inductor DC- DC Converter for UPS System with Renewable Energy Source

A new converter using a switched-inductor cell integrated with a switched-capacitor cell within a boost-like structure is proposed. The converter can achieve a very high dc conversion ratio. It can serve as the front-end dc-dc converter for a fuel cell in a UPS system. The inductors and capacitors are switched in a parallel-series configuration. The charging circuit of the inductors from the so...

Generalized Switched-Inductor Based Buck-Boost Z-H Converter

In this paper, a generalized buck-boost Z-H converter based on switched inductors is proposed. This structure consists of a set of series connected switched-inductor cells. The voltage conversion ratio of the proposed structure is adjusted by changing the number of cells and the duty cycle. Like the conventional Z-H converter, the shoot-through switching state and the diode before LC network ar...
