Title
A Novel Interleaved High Step-Up Converter With Built-In Transformer Voltage Multiplier Cell
Abstract
In this article, we propose a novel interleaved high step-up converter. The proposed converter integrates the built-in transformer voltage multiplier cell (VMC) to the interleaved boost converter with voltage lift capacitor. The voltage gain is increased by both of the turns ratio of the built-in transformer and the voltage lift capacitor. Hence, there is no need to operate the converter around unity duty cycles to obtain high voltage gains. Meanwhile, the voltage stress across semiconductors is reduced considerably, facilitating the utilizing of mosfets with low on-state resistance and diodes with low forward voltage drop decreasing the conduction losses. The leakage inductance of the built-in transformer not only provides zero current switching (ZCS) for mosfets but also controls the falling current rate of the diodes alleviating the reverse current recovery problem. In addition, the energy of the leakage inductance is recycled by the clamp capacitor avoiding high spikes across switches. In comparison with the recently published converters, the proposed converter introduces all of the abovementioned advantages with a low number of components that make it an interesting solution for high efficiency and high step-up applications. Finally, a 40-V to 580-V prototype with 930 W power is fabricated to explore the merits of the proposed converter.
