Design and Simulation of a High Gain Boost Converter with Reduced Input Current Ripple

Abstract

This paper proposes a high gain novel DC- DC converter. According to this topology gain of the converter can be improved more than a boost converter without using any transformer. In this topology it is possible to increases the gain of the converter without increasing the current ripple in the input current. This proposed topology is capable to reduce the voltage stress of the switches. Implementation of non-isolated topology eliminates the need of the transformer and reduces the magnetic size. The maximum duty restriction problem can be reduced by the higher gain of this proposed converter. The ripple reduction in the input current increases the life of energy storage system.
