Abstract: (69 Views) |
In this study, a novel high step-up converter without utilizing a coupled inductor at the input is presented. The converter incorporates two coupled inductors: one to enhance the voltage gain and the other to facilitate zero-current switching (ZCS) and transfer snubber energy. A lossless snubber is employed to achieve soft-switching conditions. All diodes in the circuit operate under ZCS, effectively eliminating the issue of reverse recovery. The converter features a continuous input current and reduced conduction losses due to low voltage stress on the switches. The proposed converter has been comprehensively analyzed, and a 60 W prototype was simulated in PSPICE and subsequently implemented to validate the circuit analysis. The converter achieves an efficiency of 96% under full-load conditions, representing a 6% improvement compared to a hard-switching boost converter.
