Features of alternative energy sources as electrical devices are considered. A new direct current converter circuit is proposed. Its characteristics are analyzed in comparison with the known Cuk converter circuit. Studies have shown that, taking into account system losses, the new converter can increase the power supply voltage by ten or more times, while its efficiency reaches 85-95% in the area of continuous operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
