In this paper, a novel high-gain DC-DC boost converter with reduced component count is proposed. The converter that is proposed in this paper provides high DC voltage gain, while keeping the overall component count significantly lower in comparison to some similar high voltage gain DC-DC converters presented recently. The proposed converter uses only one power switch, two inductors, two capacitors, and three didoes to achieve high-voltage gain, without a significant compromise on the efficiency. In addition, the proposed design uses small passive component sizes compared to other similar designs of the same power rating. Due to the reduced component count, and hence the small physical size, the proposed converter will find applications in several practical domains, ranging from industrial control embedded systems to the DC transmission bus bars in fully electrical vehicles and renewable energy distribution grids. A 250 Watts prototype of this newly proposed DC-DC boost converter was implemented and simulated using the PSIM simulation tool. The promising simulation results proved the reliable performance of the proposed DC-DC boost converter design.

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.

And Performance

<p>In the last few years, the non-isolated dc converters involving high voltage gain with adequate performance are becoming quite popular in industrial applications. This is resulting in high voltage and current stress on the power device (switches and diodes), as well as a limited output voltage with a high duty cycle. This paper proposes a multi-phase non-isolated boost converter that uses capacitor clamping to increase output voltage while reducing stress across the power device. There are two stages in the proposed converter (first stage is three inductors and three switches and the second stage is clamper circuit of three capacitors and three diodes). The proposed converter is high voltage gain, with low voltage stress through switches transistors. To justify the theoretical analysis, the concept was validated through mathematical analysis and by simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The results carried out the results permit the converter behavior and performance to be accurately.</p>

AbstractHigh switching frequency and high voltage gain DC-DC boost converters are required for electric vehicles. In this paper, a new high step-up boost converter (HSBC) is designed for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) applications. The designed converter provides the better high voltage gain compared to conventional boost converter and also reduces the input current ripples and voltage stress on power semiconductor switches. In addition to this, a neural network based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is designed for the 1.26 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Radial basis function network (RBFN) algorithm is used in the neural network controller to extract the maximum power from PEMFC at different temperature conditions. The performance analysis of the designed MPPT controller is analyzed and compared with a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

To improve the voltage gain of step-up converters, the cascaded technique is considered as a possible solution in this paper. By considering the concept of cascading two Z-source networks in a conventional boost converter, the proposed topology takes the advantages of both impedance source and cascaded converters. By applying some modifications, the proposed converter provides high voltage gain while the voltage stress of the switch and diodes is still low. Moreover, the low input current ripple of the converter makes it absolutely appropriate for photovoltaic applications in expanding the lifetime of PV panels. After analyzing the operation principles of the proposed converter, we present the simulation and experimental results of a 100 W prototype to verify the proposed converter performance.
