Design of High Step up DC-DC Converter with Single Switch and Sinusoidal PWM Inverter for Micro Source Application

  PRIYA.S

This paper proposes a new high step-up DC–DC converter designed especially for regulating the dc interface between various micro sources and a dc–ac inverter to electricity grid. The need of Electricity increases the power demand where the power demand met by the conventional sources of energy has some disadvantage of pollution, this disadvantage can be decreased by the use of the Renewable energy sources like Fuel Cell and available solar energy. The figuration of the proposed converter is a quadratic boost converter with the coupled inductor in the second boost converter. The converter achieves high step-up voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio and low voltage stress on the power switch. Additionally, the energy stored in the leakage inductor of the coupled inductor can be recycled to the output capacitor. The inverter is switched with SPWM techniques used to reduce the harmonics and to achieve high-voltage, high-power capability but switching losses are increased because of increased device count. Switching losses can be reduced by Soft switching techniques. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, a 280-W prototype sample is implemented with an input voltage range of 20–40 V and an output voltage of up to 400 V. The upmost efficiency of 93.3% is reached with high-line input; on the other hand, the full-load efficiency remains at 89.3% during low-line input.

Keywords- High step-up DC-DC converter, SPWM Inverter, microgrid, micro sources.
