An interleaved soft switching boost converter for a hybrid power generation system is proposed. Hybrid renewable energy systems plays an important role in remote area power generation. Here the hybrid system is the combination of photovoltaic module and fuel cell. Whenever there is a failure in the Photo Voltaic module, due to less insolation or any other fault in the module, then fuel cell is used in generation of power. The output voltage of this hybrid system is very low. To increase the output voltage boost converter is required. In this, interleaved softswitching boost converter is connected which helps in the reduction of ripples in the output voltage. The main advantage of this is interleaved soft-switching boost converter is that, it minimizes the switching losses by adopting a resonant soft switching method.
