Analysis of Single Switch Step Up Dc-Dc Converter for Alternative Energy Systems

This work proposes high step-up DC-DC converter to acquire power from low voltage ambient sources like TEG, solar PV panels etc... The proposed converter provides high DC voltage gain, with reduced component count with high efficiency. Additionally, this topology significantly improves the voltage conversion ratio in comparison with other similar DC-DC converters presented recently. Besides, the design part includes less number of passive components to ensure compactness and low cost. The validation of the converter in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is carried out with detailed design method and performance of the same is verified using simulated using the MATLAB/Simulink
