DC DC converters are widely used in a variety of applications. It is mostly used in tracking maximum power point of PV array. The tapped inductor is a feasible method to extend the voltage conversion ratio. In this paper, the effect of tapped inductor in a boost converter is discussed. This paper provides a detailed design and analysis of a tapped inductor boost converter. The performance of th...

This paper presents a cascaded H-bridge multilevel boost inverter for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid EV (HEV) applications implemented without the use of inductors. Currently available power inverter systems for HEVs use a dc–dc boost converter to boost the battery voltage for a traditional three-phase inverter. The present HEV traction drive inverters have low power density, are expensive, a...

In this paper a repetitive control (RC) approach to improve current sharing between parallel-connected boost converters in DC microgrids is presented. The impact of changes in line impedance on current sharing is investigated. A repetitive controller is designed and connected in series with current controller of the boost converters to control the switching signals such that by regulating of th...

A novel dual-input DC-DC boost converter that can perform the integration of harvested energy from solar and vibrational input sources is proposed. Firstly, background a hybrid system relates to multi-input converters discussed, limitations current designs power ICs are highlighted. detailed design analysis proposed was done justify its performance. voltage stress has been performed ensure suit...
