The resonant converters have attracted a lot of attention because of their high efficiency and low switching losses. This paper presents the analysis of a high voltage gain non-isolated step-up DC-DC converter topology using resonant technology. The proposed converter configuration has reduced number of power semiconductor switches compared to the existing isolated converter topology having four semiconductor switches. The proposed topology employs capacitor-inductor-capacitor (C-L-C) resonant circuit configuration. The size of the proposed converter and the losses in the converter are greatly reduced. Both the converters with resonant components are simulated in Matlab/Simulink platform to validate their performance. The time-domain simulation results demonstrate that the proposed non-isolated converter gives improved voltage gain compared to the existing two-stage isolated resonant DC-DC converter.

A high voltage gain modified SEPIC converter is proposed in this paper. This proposed converter has many advantages i.e., high output voltage, lower voltage stress, high efficiency, voltage gain is high without any coupled inductor and transformer, continuous input current. Thus, there is no overshoot voltage at turn-off process for switches. By using single switches, the CCM mode operation can be easily controlled by this converter, so control system is simple and also wide output values is obtained only by modifying the duty cycle. This modified converter has lower components than conventional converter. The operating modes and design of modified converter are discussed. The output power of this converter is 6 watts. By this converter, this converter capable of developing the two and half times of input voltage. The PV system also used this converter to develop high voltage gain. This high voltage gain is achieved by using MATLAB/SIMULIMK platform.

This manuscript proposes a novel single switch converter which attains high voltage gain using P and O algorithm. The proposed converter is multilevel with voltage tripler technique. Here the output voltage gain attained is 11 times than the input source. The voltage ripple attained is less compared to other models. The main advantage of the converter is high efficiency, reduced switch loss, high gain and reduction in ripple. The converter attains efficiency of 97.3% at full load condition. The proposed converter is analysed by both Simulink MATALAB and Hardware prototype.

Abstract The paper treats about main problems of one phase DC-AC microinverters that allow single solar cell to be joined with the grid. One of the issues is to achieve high voltage gain with high efficiency in DC circuit, which is necessary for proper operation of inverter. The operating principles, results of practical implementation and investigations on boost-flyback converter, which meets mentioned demands, are presented.
