scholarly journals A Transformer less Buck-Boost Converter with Single Switch

This paper introduces a modern, transformerless buck-boost dc-dc converter. In this topology, one active switch is used. The proposed buck-boost converter voltage gain is higher compared to the conventional buck-boost converter. With a moderate duty cycle, high voltage gain can be reached. The switch's voltage stress is minimal. As a consequence, the power switch's conduction loss is relatively low to improve efficiency. The converter is simple, hence it will be easy to control the proposed converter.

High step-up DC-DC converters are necessary in photovoltaic energy generation, due the low voltage of the panels source. This article propose the Doubler Output Coupled Inductor converter. This converter is based in boost converter and utilize switched capacitors and a coupled inductor to maximize the static voltage gain. The converter achieve a high voltage gain with low turns ratio in the coupled inductor and an acceptable duty cycle. Can highlight the converter utilize low number of components and have low voltage and current stresses in semiconductors. To validate and evaluate the operation of the converter a 200W prototype is simulated.

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.

To provide a high votage conversion ratio, conventional non-isolated DC-DC boost topologies, which have reduced voltage boost capability, have to operate with extremely high duty cycle ratio, higher than 0.9. This paper proposes a DC-DC converter which is mainly based on the narrow range of duty cycle ratio to achieve extra high voltage conversion gain at relatively reduced voltage stress on semiconductors. In addition, it does include any magnetic coupling structure. The structure of the proposed converter combines the new hybrid SEPIC converter and voltage multiplier cells. From the steady-state analysis, this converter has wide conversion ratio and cubic dependence with respect to the duty ratio and then, can increase the output voltage several times more than the conventional and quadratic converters at the same duty cycle ratio. However, the proposed dual-switch cubic SEPIC converter must withstand higher voltage stress on output switches. To overcome this drawback, an extension of the proposed converter is also introduced and discussed. The superiority of the proposed converter is mainly based on its cubic dependence on the duty cycle ratio that allows it to achieve extra high voltage gain at reduced voltage stress on semiconductors. Simulation results are shown and they corroborate the feasibility, practicality and validity of the concepts of the proposed converter.

In this paper, a new transformerless buck–boost converter is introduced. The proposed converter voltage gain is higher that of the conventional buck–boost converter. In the presented converter, only one power switch is used. The switch voltage stress is low, therefore, the low on-state resistance of the power switch can be selected to decrease losses of the switch. The presented converter topology is simple, hence the control of the converter will be simple. The mathematical analyses and principle of the proposed converter are explained. The validity of the proposed converter is confirmed by the experimental results.

The need to increase the voltage level produced by PV systems becomes an urgent task to be compatible with the requirements of the AC load, but we meet problems in the operation of the step-up converter at a high duty cycle which is not preferred due to the reduction in voltage gain, and also a higher number of turns ratio in the windings inductance coupled adds to the overall losses of the converter. This article proposes an improved DC-DC converter with a lower duty cycle by integrating three tapped-inductors in new topology, which combined quadratic boost converter and tapped-inductor boost converter. The proposed converter achieves a high voltage gain with a lower duty ratio (Gmax = 14.32) and a maximum efficiency of 98.68% is improved compared to the voltage gain and efficiency results of these converters in several recently published references. The analyses are done theoretically and supported with simulation results. A prototype of the proposed converter has been built to experimentally validate the obtained results.

The high step up dc-dc converter with a quadratic boost converter with voltage multiplier cell (VM) to achieve a high voltage gain in the continuous conduction mode (CCM). To increase higher voltage gain, lower voltage stress on diodes and capacitors and requiring smaller inductors with reduced number of components. Quadratic Boost DC-DC converters are mainly used in applications like HEVs and EVs vehicles. The purpose of boost converter is to charge a low-voltage (12 V) battery during boost mode and to assist the high-voltage 200V battery. In this implementation, closed-loop control in high voltage side is implemented using PI (proportional integral) controller.
