Modern simulation tools can help to find the optimal power electronic concept for a special field of application. So it is much more easy to find an optimal solution for a current problem. In case of a low voltage (12-24V) solar inverters it can be shown, that the presented multiphase system give us the possibility to increase the over all efficiency significantly. Here, the input DC-to-DC conv...

In this paper, a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) frequency control algorithm is proposed to reduce the input current ripple of a multi-phase interleaved boost converter. Unlike conventional variable duty and constant frequency control, the proposed algorithm controls the switching frequency to regulate the output voltage. By fixing the duty ratio at 1/N in the N-phase interleaved boost conv...

A multiport converter promises cost-effective, flexible and more efficient energy processing by utilizing only a single power stage. Multiport converters, a promising concept for alternative energy systems, have attracted increasing research interest recently. Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) alleviates the switching losses and improves the converter overall efficiency. Zero voltage switching can b...
