Multilevel inverters have been developed due to limitations of the conventional two-level voltage source inverters (VSIs). Most of the topologies of multilevel inverters that have been presented in the literature are based on the sharing of the rated voltage between the switches so that the switches with lower voltage ratings can be used. In these topologies, the current rating of all of the sw...

In this paper, a novel high step-up DC-DC converter is proposed for sustainable energy system. The proposed converter uses coupled inductor and switched-capacitor technique. The capacitors are charged in parallel and are discharged in series by the coupled-inductor to achieve high stepup voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio. Besides, the voltage stress on the main switch are reduced with a ...

Coupled inductors can effectively optimize the THD, loss, current ripple, and power density of multiphase interleaved totem-pole PFC converters. However, a coupled inductor will also worsen zero-crossing distortion process. This paper first introduces working principle converter with based on detailed analysis modes, then analyzes influence process caused by inductor. To eliminate inductor, an ...
