Abstract:

In this paper, a novel noncoupled inductor high voltage gain single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) is presented. The proposed converter has various advantages, such as lower voltage stress on the switches, noninverting output voltage, high efficiency, and high voltage gain. Also, the introduced converter has a continuous input current which makes it suitable for renewable energy and fuel cell applications. Moreover, high voltage gain is achieved without using any transformer and coupled inductor, thus there is not any voltage overshoot for the switches during the turn-off process. This effect allows low conduction losses by using lower voltage rating switches and also additional clamping circuit is not needed. The control system of the presented converter is simple and the converter can be easily controlled in continuous conduction mode operation. Because, the gating pulses for both of the switches are the same and wide output voltage range is achieved only by changing the duty cycle. Furthermore, the number of the components compared to the other noncoupled inductor, SEPIC-based converters which provide near voltage gain to the proposed converter, is reduced. The detailed operation of the introduced converter and design considerations are discussed. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed dc-dc converter.
