Hybrid Transformer Based Dc–Dc Boost Converter For Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract
Now-a-days due to the shortage of electric power and rising cost of non-renewable energy resources generating
electric power from the renewable energy resources such as PV modules are increasing day to day. This paper presents non-
isolated, high step-up dc-dc converter with hybrid transformer with for low voltage renewable energy resources applications.
The proposed converter utilizes hybrid transformer to transfer the inductive and capacitive energy simultaneously, achieving
high step-up voltage with smaller sized magnetic component, the turn-off loss of switch is reduced, increasing the efficiency
of the converter under all load conditions. By changing the input voltage the voltage stresses on the active switch and diodes
are maintained at low level and are independent as a result of the resonant capacitor transferring energy to the output of the
converter. Due to the high system efficiency and the ability to operate with a wide variable input voltage, the proposed
converter is an attractive design for alternative low dc voltage energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic modules and fuel
cells.
