Abstract:

In a photovoltaic system, sun light energy is converted to electricity. The generatedelectricity has a low DC voltage. In order to increase voltage generated by photovoltaic cells (PV),an additive DC-DC converter is required to raise the low voltage to a good level which provides theconditions for connection to DC-DC converters. Low wastes, low costs, and high efficiency are someother specifications of such converters. This paper presents a new structure for an additive DC-DCconverter with inductive and capacitor switching for increasing high voltage gain to be used in PVsystem. It is based on the inductive and non-insulated switching which increases voltage in a duty cycleup to 10 times of input voltage. In addition, using a switch, low elements, and also low voltage stresson the switch is the advantage of this new setup. The easy increasing of levels to reach the highervoltages is another benefit of this structure. The paper continues with the analysis of circuit functionand PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) adjustments. PSCAD/EMTDC software is used for confirming theauthenticity of the performance of the suggested model. The results are presented.

High voltage gain DC-DC resonant converter

In this paper, a DC-DC resonant converter with high voltage gain and small size is studied. To reduce the size and weight of this converter, the operating frequency should be as high as possible. In this research, the frequency changes from 120 to 200 kHz. Due to the high operating frequency, it is necessary to reduce the switching losses using soft switching methods. Resonant converters are su...

Analysis of New Transformerless dc-dc Converter With High Voltage Gain

In some industries applications such as fuel cells, we must use a high voltage gain dc-dc converters for increasing voltage, but, the conventional converters cannot provide the high voltage gain with increasing duty cycle and the converters efficiency is limited by the equivalent series resistances. For this reason, in this paper, a single switch transformerless high step-up dc-dc converter wit...

Design & Implementation of Soft Switching Dc-dc Converter with High Voltage Gain for High Power Application

A zero voltage switching (ZVS) dc–dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed. It consists of a ZVS boost switch cell converter stage and a ZVS half-bridge converter stage with resonant converter and all these stages are merged into a single stage. The ZVS boost converter stage provides a continuous input current and ZVS operation of the power switches. The ZVS halfbridge converter stage pr...

High Frequency Dc-dc Converter Design Using Zero Voltage Switching

Resonant mode conversion techniques are used nowadays to improve pulse width modulated dcdc converters. Moreover the quest for ever smaller 50 to 500 watts dc-dc switching supplies has led to the development of circuits that operates in 500 KHz -1 MHz range and above. Since the parasitic elements that normally present in a power circuit can be very significant at this frequency, most of the wor...
