The conventional DC-DC converters have limited voltage gain at moderate duty cycles. In theory, the large duty cycles should be adopted to reach large boosting factors. But in reality, at extreme duty cycles, the effect of parasitic components become dominant, which leads to increased voltage drops on devices, increased total loss and reduced efficiency. This paper proposes a single-switch (requiring single gate-driver circuit) diode-inductor-capacitor (DLC) cell-based basic boost configuration that can solve the abovementioned issues. The employment of single-switch has led to only two operational modes (in continuous conduction mode [CCM]) and easy control strategy. The continuous input-current and large step-up capability make the proposed configuration favourable for renewable or hybrid energy systems in DC microgrids. The simple configuration, modularity, moderate blocking voltage on semiconductors, wide duty-cycle range, large voltage gains at low duty cycles, common-ground between source and load are some profits of suggested configuration. The basic topology can be expanded by addition of DLC cells. Based on comparative analysis, the proposed configuration has larger step-up capability per required components and lesser average normalized blocking voltage on semiconductors compared with other single-switch topologies. This leads to smaller and cheaper structure with fewer losses. The configuration and operational modes of proposed basic topology (and its extended version) have been explained. Then, the design considerations and small-signal modelling of basic topology have been investigated. Finally, the effectiveness and correct operation of proposed topology have been certified by comparative analysis and experimental results.

“…4,5 For this reason, various structures have been proposed to increase the voltage. Converters such as conventional boost, [6][7][8][9] buck-boost, [10][11][12] fly-back, 13,14 and Cuk 15,16 have not high-voltage gain, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) and diode back-flow problems can be seen in these converters because the high-voltage gain can be obtained in higher duty cycles for the power switches. Generally, power converters are time-varying nonlinear systems, and due to the uncertainty of the converter parameters, their ability to be accurately modeled in all operating conditions is extremely difficult, so the control process for the power converters is always a major challenge for designers.…”

Many of the photovoltaic (PV) panels generate the low amounts of the voltages under the limited values of the powers. In order to increase these voltages to be applicable for grid utilization, DC-DC boost converters are used. A novel nonisolated transformer-less switched-capacitor-based DC-DC power boost structure is combined with the quadratic converter in this study. The proposed converter has many advantages such the low-voltage stresses on the power components, higher voltage-gain, and ability to supplying the load under the low amounts of the switching time intervals. These features lead to fewer amounts of the currents for the power components in the topology for the continuous conduction mode which means less dynamic losses and higher efficiency. Another advantage of the proposed converter is including only one power switch that simplifies the controller design for implementation purposes. A comprehensive mathematical analysis is presented and simulation with MATLAB/SIMULINK and implemented hardware test results confirm the theoretical investigations.

In Solar panel and UPS, high gain DC-DC converters are commonly used. In grid connected inverter specifications, the batteries and solar panel voltage level are low. The use of multiple series related DC batteries and PV panels directly connected to the inverter, it simplifies the process, but the expense is high, and efficiency is low. A high-gain Quadratic Boost Switched Capacitor Converter is proposed in this paper. The high step up voltage gain is achieved by adding the voltage multiplier topology in the conventional quadratic boost converter with the correct duty ratio. The fractional order controller is implemented, and it’s tuned by genetic algorithm optimization method for improving the performance of the proposed converter. Its characteristics are low energy processing, robustness and balanced voltage of cells. The performed that include the proposal and existing solutions, the theoretical results are verified from MATLAB/SIMULINK toolbox.
