Abstract:

This paper presents a novel concept of a high-voltage-gain DC-DC converter. The converter is made up of switched capacitors and passive resonant branches. A significant reduction in the count of switches and low voltage stress on the switches is achieved in this proposed converter topology, in comparison to that of a classical SC series-parallel converter. It is essential from the cost, volume, and efficiency of the converter standpoint. The reduction in the count of switches is threefold. The highest voltage stress on the switches depends on the output voltage and is decreased in the proposed converter as well, as the output voltage is divided into two series-connected capacitors. The presented results demonstrate the operation of the converter with the use of resonant branches, its switching strategies, voltage stresses of switches, efficiency, voltage gain, and output voltage regulation as well as the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation. The paper also presents novel issues related to analytical loss modeling, extended concepts of topology, converter start-up, and operation during transient states. The demonstrated concept of the converter, the analytical discussion and its design, as well as the experimental setup and results clearly demonstrate the optimization achievements.
