Novel LY converter topologies for high gain transfer ratio — A new breed of XY family

New LY converter topologies of DC-DC XY family for renewable energy applications are articulated in this paper. Four LY topologies are presented in this paper and the proposed topologies provide an operative solution for renewable energy applications which requires a very high inverting voltage gain and minimum internal resistance; such as a photovoltaic MLI system, high voltage applications and electrical drives. The conspicuous features of proposed LY converter topologies are i) Single power control switch ii) Single Input source iii) Inverting output voltage iv) Transformer-less converter topologies v) High inverting voltage gain with moderate duty ratio vi) Less number of power devices and components. The proposed topologies have minimum internal resistance and its effect on voltage gain of LY converter is also discussed in detail. The simulation results are presented and the result consistently showed good conformity with theoretical analysis and also validates the functionality of the proposed LY converter topologies of the XY converter family.
