In this research paper, a novel high step up dc-dc converter with a coupled inductor and voltage doubler circuits is proposed. The converter achieves a high step up voltage gain with an appropriate duty ratio and low voltage stress on the power switches. Also, the energy which is stored in the leakage inductor of the coupled inductor can be recycled to the output. The operating principles and the steady state analysis of the proposed converter are discussed in detail. Finally, a prototype circuit of the proposed converter is implemented in the laboratory in order to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

In this paper, two types of high step-up coupled inductor inverters based on qSBIs (quasi- switched boost inverters) are proposed. By applying the coupled inductor to the qSBIs, the voltage gain of the proposed inverter is regulated by turn ratio and duty ratio. Thus, a high voltage gain can be achieved without the circuits operating at the extreme duty cycle by choosing a suitable turn ratio of the coupled inductor. In addition, the proposed circuits have the characteristics of continuous input current and low voltage stress across the passive components. A boost unit can be added to the proposed inverters for further improvement of the voltage gain. In this paper, the working principle, steady state analysis, and the comparisons of the proposed inverter with other impedance-source inverters are described. A 200 W prototype was created and the experimental results confirm the correctness of the analysis in this paper.

Bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) converters have a reduced number of semiconductors in the current flowing path, contributing to low conduction losses. In this paper, a new bridgeless high step-up voltage gain PFC converter is proposed, analyzed and validated for high voltage applications. Compared to its conventional counterpart, the input rectifier bridge in the proposed bridgeless PFC converter is completely eliminated. As a result, its conduction losses are reduced. Also, the current flowing through the power switches in the proposed bridgeless PFC converter is only half of the current flowing through the rectifier diodes in its conventional counterpart, therefore, the conduction losses can be further improved. Moreover, in the proposed bridgeless PFC converter, not only the voltage stress of power switches is lower than the output voltage, but the voltage stress of the output diodes is lower than the conventional counterpart. In addition, this proposed bridgeless PFC converter features a simple circuit structure and high PFC performance. Finally, the proposed bridgeless PFC converter is analyzed and designed in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed bridgeless PFC converter.

In this article, a quasi-switched boost converter based on the switched-capacitor technique with high step-up voltage capability is dealt with and analyzed. The proposed converter offers a simple structure and low voltage stress on the semiconductor elements with intrinsic small duty cycle. An inductor of the proposed converter is connected in series with the input voltage source; therefore, continuous input current ripple is attainable. In addition, the efficiency of the proposed converter is also improved. A detailed steady-state analysis is discussed to identify the salient features of the switched-capacitor-based quasi-switched boost DC-DC converter. The performance of the converter is compared against similar existing high boost DC-DC converters. Finally, the switched-capacitor-based quasi-switched boost DC-DC converter is investigated by experimental verification.

A new topology for high step-up nonisolated DC-DC converter for solar PV applications is presented in this paper. The proposed high-voltage gain converter topology has many advantages like low-voltage stress on the switches, high gain with low duty ratio, and a continuous input current. The analytical waveforms of the proposed converter are presented in continuous and discontinuous modes of operation. Voltage stress analysis is conducted. The voltage gain and efficiency of the converter in presence of parasitic elements are also derived. Performance comparison of the proposed high-gain converter topology with the recently reported high-gain converter topologies is presented. Validation of theoretical analysis is done through the test results obtained from the simulation of the proposed converter. For the maximum duty ratio of 80%, the output voltage of 670 V is observed, and the voltage gain obtained is 14. Comparison of theoretical and simulation results is presented which validates the performance of the proposed converter.
