DC-DC converters are playing an important role in designing of Electric Vehicles, integration of solar cells and other DC applications. Contemporary high power applications use multilevel converters that have multi stage outputs for integrating low voltage sources. Conventional DC-DC converters use single source and have complex structure while using for Hybrid Energy Systems. This paper proposes a multi-input, multi-output DC-DC converter to produce constant output voltage at different input voltage conditions. This topology is best suitable for hybrid power systems where the output voltage is variable due to environmental conditions. It reduces the requirement of magnetic components in the circuit and also reduces the switching losses. The proposed topology has two parts namely multi-input boost converter and level-balancing circuit. Boost converter increases the input voltage and Level Balancing Circuit produce Multi output. Equal values of capacitors are used in Level Balancing Circuit to ensure the constant output voltage at all output stages. The operating modes of each part are given and the design parameters of each part are calculated. Performance of the proposed topology is verified using MATLAB/Simulink simulation which shows the correctness of the analytical approach. Hardware is also presented to evaluate the simulation results.

Photo-voltaic (PV) power harvest can have decent efficiency when dealing with high power. When operating with a DC–DC boost converter during the low-power harvest, its efficiency and output voltage are degraded due to excessive losses in the converter components. The objective of this paper is to present a systematic approach to designing an efficient low-power photo-voltaic harvesting topology with an improved efficiency and output voltage. The proposed topology uses a boost converter with and extra inductor in recycled and synchro-recycled techniques in continuous current mode (CCM). By exploiting the non-linearity of the PV cell, it reduces the power loss and using the current stored in the second inductor, it enhances the output voltage and output power simultaneously. Further, by utilizing the Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor’s (MOSFET) body diode as a switch, it maintains a minimum hardware, and introduces a negligible impact on the reliability. The test results of the proposed boost converters show that it achieves a decent power and output voltage. Theoretical and experimental results of the proposed topologies with a tested prototype are presented along with a strategy to maximize power and voltage conversion efficiencies and output voltage.

This paper proposed a novel single-stage square wave buck-boost inverter (SWBBI). The proposed inverter is designed by using dual buck-boost converters. The input DC voltage of the proposed inverter can be either stepped-down or stepped-up in square output voltage waveform depending on the duty-cycle applied for each buck-boost converter. This characteristic is not found in conventional voltage source inverter where the output voltage is always lower than the input DC voltage. The proposed inverter is analyzed by a series of simulations using MATLAB/Simulink as well as experiments by using different values of duty-cycle. A conclusion about the feasibility of the proposed inverter is given by comparing the simulation and experimental results.

Some advantages of the SEPIC buck-boost converter makes it stand out from other configurations. It makes possible to obtain from a unipolar input voltage both unipolar and bipolar output voltage with a good symmetry between positive and negative output voltages. It also provides efficient performance as well as circuit simplicity in unipolar and bipolar topology owing to the use of a single switch which can be operated by available integrated controllers of boost converters. The article considers the topologies of a SEPIC buck-boost converter built according to the traditional scheme (with two inductors) and according to the scheme on magnetically coupled chokes. To analyze the processes and factors affecting the converter operation efficiency, a circuit simulation has been done using the Electronics Workbench. The results of the investigation of a pulsed DC converter of input voltage to unipolar or bipolar output voltage using SEPIC buck-boost topology are presented. The circuit simulation enables to specify the switching process characteristics, to estimate the ripple level of the input current and its spectral characteristics, and to develop recommendations concerning the choice of parameters of converters elements and generation of control signals. Based on the simulation results, the load, control, and noise characteristics of the converter are obtained. The level of symmetry of positive and negative output voltage is investigated for the converter on discrete and magnetically coupled chokes. The assessment of the effect of leakage inductance on converters with magnetic coupling of inductive elements is given. Examples of practical implementation of converters built according to the SEPIC topology are shown. It is found that the resistance of the choke windings, which is less than 0.5 Ohm, has practically no effect on the efficiency of the converter, retaining the factor of about 0.9 in a wide range of load currents, while the main source of conversion losses is a passive diode switch. Synchronous converter circuits of a number of manufacturers are more efficient, but require more complex controllers for active switches with elements for protection against through currents.

This paper presents the topology of operating DC-DC buck converter in boost mode for extra-high-voltage applications. Traditional DC-DC boost converters are used in high-voltage applications, but they are not economical due to the limited output voltage, efficiency and they require two sensors with complex control algorithm. Moreover, due to the effect of parasitic elements the output voltage and power transfer efficiency of DC-DC converters are limited. These limitations are overcome by using the voltage lift technique, opens a good way to improve the performance characteristics of DC-DC converter. The technique is applied to DC-DC converter and a simplified control algorithm in this paper. The performance of the controller is studied for both line and load disturbances. These converters perform positive DC-DC voltage increasing conversion with high power density, high efficiency, low cost in simple structure, small ripples, and wide range of control. Simulation results along theoretical analysis are provided to verify its performance.

Interleaving Technique

This paper analyses a 3-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter for the conversion of low input voltage with high input current to higher DC output voltage. The operation of the 3-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter with multi-parallel of boost converters is controlled by interleaved of switching signals with 120 degrees phase-shifted. Therefore, with this circuit configuraion, high input current is evenly shared among the parallel units and consequently the current stress is reduced on the circuit and semiconductor devices and contributes reduction of overall losses. The simulation and hardware results show that the current stress and the semiconductor conduction losses were reduced approximately 33% and 32%, respectively in the 3-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter compared to the conventional DC-DC boost converters. Furthermore, the use of interleaving technique with continuous conduction mode on DC-DC boost converters is reducing input current and output voltage ripples to increase reliability and efficiency of boost converters.
