This paper proposes two new simplified cascade multiphase DC-DC boost power converters with high voltage-gain and low ripple. All simplifications reduce the number of active switching devices from <em>2N</em> into <em>N</em>, where <em>N</em> is the phase number. The first simplification reduces the number of inductors from <em>2N</em> into <em>N+1</em> and increases the number of diodes from <em>2N</em> into (<em>2N+1</em>). The second simplification reduces the number of inductors from <em>2N</em> into <em>N+1</em> and increases the number of diodes from <em>2N</em> into (<em>3N+1</em>). The second simplification needs inductors with smaller current rating than the first simplification. The expressions of output voltage as a function of load current are derived by taking into account the voltage drops across the inductors and switching power devices. Simulated and experimental results are included to show the basic performance of the proposed cascade multiphase DC-DC boost power converters.

High Voltage Gain

Direct current to direct current (DC/DC) converters are required to have higher voltage gains in some applications for electric vehicles, high-voltage level charging systems and fuel cell electric vehicles. Therefore, it is greatly important to carry out research on high voltage gain DC/DC converters. To improve the efficiency of high voltage gain DC/DC converters and solve the problems of output voltage ripple and robustness, this paper proposes a double-boost DC/DC converter. Based on the small-signal model of the proposed converter, a double closed-loop controller with voltage–current feedback and input voltage feedforward is designed. The experimental results show that the maximum efficiency of the proposed converter exceeds 95%, and the output voltage ripple factor is 0.01. Compared with the traditional boost converter and multi-phase interleaved DC/DC converter, the proposed topology has certain advantages in terms of voltage gain, device stress, number of devices, and application of control algorithms.

This manuscript proposes a novel single switch converter which attains high voltage gain using P and O algorithm. The proposed converter is multilevel with voltage tripler technique. Here the output voltage gain attained is 11 times than the input source. The voltage ripple attained is less compared to other models. The main advantage of the converter is high efficiency, reduced switch loss, high gain and reduction in ripple. The converter attains efficiency of 97.3% at full load condition. The proposed converter is analysed by both Simulink MATALAB and Hardware prototype.

High Voltage Gain

The interest toward the application of fuel cells is increasing in the last years mainly due to the possibility of highly efficient decentralized clean energy generation. The output voltage of fuel-cell stacks is generally below 50 V. Consequently, low-power applications with high output voltage require a high gain for proper operation. A zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) dc–dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed for fuel cell as a front-end converter. It consists of a ZVS boost converter stage and a ZVS half-bridge converter stage and two 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 half-bridge converter stage provides a high voltage gain. The principle of operation and system analysis are presented. Theoretical analysis and simulation result of the proposed converter were verified.

Due to the rapid developments in the field of electric vehicles (EVs), it is necessary to find the alternate source to power the EVs. The energy sources, such as fuel cell (FC) and solar photovoltaics (PV), are preferred; however, these sources produce low output voltage, and it is not sufficient to drive the EVs. The DC–DC converters are used to boost the voltage to the required voltage of the EVs; in addition, the EVs also require multiple output terminals to deliver the power to various parts of the system. Hence, in this paper, a new DC–DC converter topology is proposed to produce the three different output voltages from the single input source. The proposed converter has features such as high voltage gain with less duty cycle, reduced number of components, less power loss, and hence the efficiency. Moreover, the converter is operated with a single MOSFET switch with low [Formula: see text] due to its less voltage stress and high voltage gain. The required voltage gain is achieved by the super-lift (SL) technique, and the converter is also provided with a passive clamp circuit to recover the leakage energy of the coupled inductor. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified through the experimental prototype of 300 W, and the result proves the converter may be suitable for EV applications and the applications which require multi-level output voltage with a high voltage gain.
