Investigation of the operational behavior of a DC/DC high step up R2P2 converter

In this paper, the operational behavior of a DC/DC high step up R2P2 converter is investigated. The main contribution of this paper is the theoretical analysis of the operation of this converter, in continuous conduction mode, for two alternative topologies, as well as the investigation of the voltage and current stresses of the semiconductor elements, for each topology, based on theoretical and experimental results obtained on a laboratory prototype.
