Simulation of a high voltage gain dc-dc converter integrating with coupled inductor and two voltage multiplier cells

Abstract

In this paper, a high voltage gain dc-dc converter is presented for renewable energy applications. This paper develops step up converter which consists of two voltage multiplier cells with coupled inductor in order to achieve the multiple voltage requirements with high voltage gain. And also two capacitances are provided for charging when the device is under turned-off condition, by utilizing the stored energy levels in the coupled inductor which can enhances the voltage transfer capability levels of the system The voltage imbalance levels are compensated at main power switch. The implemented model operates with low resistance RDS(ON) at main power switch which can reduce the switching losses. The developed simulink models are tested and verified within the MATLAB/SIMULINK with multiple output functions with high voltage gains.
