Abstract

In this article, a new non-isolated interleaved DC–DC converter is proposed to provide a high voltage conversion ratio in renewable energy systems. The converter configuration is composed of a two-phase interleaved boost converter integrating a voltage-lift capacitor and three-winding coupled inductor-based voltage multiplier modules to achieve high step-up voltage conversion and reduce voltage stresses on the semiconductors (switches and diodes). The converter can achieve a high voltage conversion ratio when working at a proper duty ratio. The voltage stresses on the switches are significantly lower than the output voltage, which enables engineers to adopt low-voltage-rating MOSFETs with low on -state resistance. The switches can turn on under zero-current switching (ZCS) conditions because of the leakage inductor series reducing switching losses. Some diodes can naturally turn off under ZCS conditions to alleviate the reverse–recovery issue and to reduce reverse–recovery losses. The input current has small ripples due to the interleaved operation. The leakage inductor energy is recycled and voltage spikes on the switches are avoided. The proposed converter is suitable for applications in which high voltage gain, high efficiency and high power are required. The principle of operation, steady-state analysis and design considerations of the proposed converter are described in detail. In addition, a closed-loop controller is designed to reduce the effect of input voltage fluctuation and load change on the output voltage. Finally, a 1000 W laboratory prototype is built and tested. The theoretical analysis and the performance of the proposed converter were validated by the experimental results.
