چکیده
The need for renewable and more efficient electrical energy generation, distribution and conversion drives exploration of new power conversion topologies and development of advanced power component technologies. Recently reintroduced multilevel boost converter topologies, by allowing use of new, efficient but relatively low voltage power devices at higher voltage and power levels, are becoming popular solution in industrial and transportation power systems. The paper compares key design parameters of multilevel boost converters with separate loads, fly capacitor and clamping diodes. It provides recommendations for emerging component base for such applications. Practical design recommendations for efficient and high power density three-level boost converter supported by test results are provided based on suggested analysis. Keywords-component; multilevel converter; boost conveter; DC-DC converter
