Experimental Study on High Voltage Gain DC-to-DC Boost Type Converter EmployingSwitched-Inductor

Abstract

The high boost dc-dc scheme is one most of the topic that attracted the attention of researchers because they have some merits over the conventional boost converter. Recently, a high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter has been introduced by employing switched-inductor. The high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter topology is suitable for high gain conversion applications where a varying low dc input voltage is converted to a high stabilized dc output voltage. In the paper, the experimental results of the novel high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter employing switched-inductor are illustrated. Furthermore, an extended high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter is also proposed. Circuit analysis, operating theories of the extended high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter are presented. Finally, the experimental results of the high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter are also presented to validate the performance of the high gain DC-to-DC boost type converter for the practical implementation.
