Abstract
This article presents a new ultrahigh-voltage gain DC/DC converter for renewable energy sources applications. In the presented topology, a three-winding coupled-inductor (TWCI) and a switch-capacitor network are employed in a classic quadratic boost converter to produce a high voltage gain while ensuring continuous input current and common ground between the input source and output load sides. This circuit has a semi-trans-inverse feature; therefore, higher voltage gain can be obtained under a very low number of turn ratios of the TWCI. Moreover, the current sharing between the TWCI and input inductor of this topology minimizes the power dissipation of the active switches and the magnetic components. In this circuit, two passive clamp circuits are used to limit the voltage stresses of the active switches, which are operated in simultaneous switching patterns. Detailed steady-state analysis, power loss estimations, comparison studies, and design considerations are provided. Finally, a sample prototype (200 W) has been implemented to verify the theoretical analysis of the proposed converter.
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
