This paper presents a high step up DC-DC converter to boost low voltage PV system voltage. The switched capacitor converter can obtain a high voltage gain but the line and load regulation is poor and the output voltage is not regulated. The output regulation of the non isolated switching mode DC-DC converter is excellent but the voltage gain cannot be too high.A combination method of the SC con...

This project presents the operation of a distributed generation (DG) system driven by a dcdc step-up converter and a dc-ac voltage source inverter (VSI) interfaced with the power grid by Fuzzy Controller. To create a stable mode when different kinds of loads are connected locally or when working under contingency, the step-up converter must regulate the dc link voltage, allowing the VSI to stab...

This paper presents implementations of a nonisolated, high voltage gain DC-DC converter. High voltage gain is achieved due to inclusion of resonance and transformer in the circuit. The performance of this converter is compared with two similar topologies namely coupled inductor-switched capacitor step-up converter and coupled inductor step-up converter. The proposed prototype is designed using ...

A novel two-switch high-step-up isolated converter with voltage lift is proposed in this paper. The proposed isolated converter utilizes a transformer with low turn ratio to achieve high step-up gain. The secondary winding charges two boosting capacitors in parallel as switches during the switch-on period, and two boosting capacitors are discharged in series during switch-off period. Thus, the ...

In this paper, a generalized buck-boost Z-H converter based on switched inductors is proposed. This structure consists of a set of series connected switched-inductor cells. The voltage conversion ratio of the proposed structure is adjusted by changing the number of cells and the duty cycle. Like the conventional Z-H converter, the shoot-through switching state and the diode before LC network ar...

In this paper, a boost converter with a clamp circuit is proposed for high intensity discharge (HID) lamp application. The clamp circuit provides zero voltage turn on for both main and clamp switches. Compared to conventional boost converters, the proposed converter has the following advantages: (i) high voltage gain without suffering from extreme duty ratio, (ii) low stress on the switches and...
