Abstract

Nowadays, with the high-power demand in industries, the need for high step-up converters has been a crucial part of interest. Power conservation is an essential aspect of innovation leading to improving the voltage gain of conventional converters such as boost, Cuk and SEPIC. Boosting techniques including voltage multiplier (VM) cells, voltage lift capacitors, coupled inductors, switched capacitor/inductor, etc., are used to enhance the conventional converters to meet high-voltage requirements of various applications. This paper proposes a new high voltage gain DC–DC converter using a coupled inductor and VM cell. The operation of the converter is based on charging the capacitor using a single MOSFET switch and adding it in series with the source to the load. Besides, a passive clamp circuit which is comprised of capacitor and diode has been selected over the active clamp to reduce the voltage stress on the MOSFET switch, which helps to improve the voltage gain of the converter. The turns ratio of the coupled inductor is chosen appropriately to get the required voltage gain. Reduction in voltage stress results in selecting MOSFET with small on-state resistance (Rds-on), which offers less conduction loss and high efficiency of the converter. The proposed converter is modeled, analyzed and simulated using PLECS simulation software. The results are experimentally verified by developing 150 W experimental prototype.
