Presentation, Analysis and Comparison of New Single-Switch High Step-up dc-dc Converters with Low Voltage Stress on the switch

Abstract

The conventional boost and buck boost converter have low voltage gain. The voltage gain of the conventional converters is limited considering the issues such as parasitic resistance and because of this issues, high step up dc-dc converter must be used. In this paper, new transformerless high step-up buck boost and boost converters with low stress on the switch are proposed. In this converters only one active switch are used, which makes the control scheme simple as well as reducing the switching power loss. The voltage gain of the proposed converters is higher than the conventional boost and buck boost converters. The proposed converters expand the continues conduction mode (CCM) operation region . Proposed converters have low voltage stress on the active switch, low conduction loss and high efficiency. The proposed converters can be operated in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). In this paper, different operation modes of the proposed converter, calculation of the voltage gain, the currents that flow through the components and efficiency are provided. To prove the correct operation of the proposed converters, simulation results in PSCAD software are provided.
