Abstract
In this manuscript, a novel non-isolated buck-boost converter topology based on SEPIC converter and switched capacitor circuit is proposed to meet the demand for high voltage gain in renewable energy applications. The operation of the proposed converter is investigated using a single-duty ratio in continuous conduction mode. Voltage gain of the proposed converter is found to be double of the conventional SEPIC’s gain. Additionally, the voltage stresses on the switches and diodes of the proposed circuit are lower than or comparable to other related existing converters. Further to prove the circuit’s feasibility, the performance of the proposed circuit is examined both in the boost and buck modes under the dynamic changes in duty ratios and load resistances. A prototype of the developed converter with a power rating of 200 W is designed and tested in the laboratory. With the proposed converter a maximum theoretical efficiency of 93.46% and the maximum experimental efficiency of approximately 91.81% are obtained.
