A New High Gain Quadratic DC-DC Boost Converter for Photovoltaic Applications

This research describes a new configuration for the step-up DC-DC converter. Distributed generation (DG) components such as solar PV arrays, micro-turbines fuel cells, and ultra-capacitors are part of a DC micro-grid; the output voltage in DC micro-grids heavily relies on the DC-DC converter. Increasing the output voltage of a DC-DC converter is required due to the low output voltage of DG sources. Since the voltage stress would be a significant drawback of conventional boost converters, this suggested configuration was designed with quadratic voltage gain and lower voltage stress which reduced the voltage stress across the switch. Structure we compared our configuration with the different designs like positive super lift Luo throughout the paper. The validation of theoretical findings demonstrates simulation and experimental results.
