Abstract :
In some applications that we need a high voltage gain such as the photovoltaic cell and fuel cell, high step up dc-dc converters must be used, but conventional boost converter cannot provide the high voltage gain. For this reason, in this paper, a single switch transformerless high step-up buck boost dc-dc converter with reduced voltage stress on the semiconductors is proposed. The proposed converter has higher voltage gain in step-up mode in comparison with conventional boost and buck-boost converters. Reduced voltage stress on the active switch allows to choose lower voltage rating MOSFETs to reduce both switching and conduction losses. Low voltage stress on the diodes allows the use of Schottky rectifiers for alleviating the reverse-recovery current. The proposed converter 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, efficiency and capacitors voltage ripple are presented. To verify the operation of the proposed converter, simulation results via PSCAD software and experimental results are provided.
