A voltage-lift DC-DC converter using modular voltage multiplier cell for photovoltaic application

Abstract

“A voltage-Lift DC-DC converter using modular voltage multiplier cell for photovoltaic application”. The presented converter comprises a coupled inductor and a voltage doubler circuit. This converter provides high voltage gain due to the coupled inductor, The secondary winding of the coupled inductor is engaged into voltage doubler circuit for further extending the voltage gain. The proposed converter can handle the energy of leakage inductance and successfully recycle to the output, it helps to enhance the efficiency of the converter. The simulation of the presented converter is developed in the MATLAB and results are presented for validation.
