Abstract:With the advent of distributed generation, the need for an efficient power electronic converter is increasing, since the incorporation of renewables with a battery unit and loads relies heavily on such a converter. This paper suggests an original structure of a high-gain DC to DC converter with reduction in voltage stress. The configuration is the result of stacking two stages of the classical boost converter. The voltage gain offered is high for even lower values of duty cycle as the relation with gain is quadratic. Also, the converter current at the input is continuous, and the load configuration offered is grounded. Analysis and operational modes of the proposed converters and effect of the effective series resistance of inductors on voltage gain are presented in detail. A comparative analysis of suggested and new high-gain converters is presented. The suggested configuration is confirmed using detailed simulation studies.
