An analytical design and analysis of a high gain switched inductor voltage multiplier cell power converter

Abstract

The proposed modified higher gain boost converter employs switched Inductor and multiplier cell-based voltage boosting techniques, as the paper represents. This converter is modelled to enhance the static gain and efficiency. As the designed topology has an incessant source current at its input side, it is ideal for solar PV applications. With a power capacity of 100 W, the proposed topology is designed to work on 24 V source input and 200 V load/output voltage. The load voltage is maintained by a PI controller, which achieves the highest efficiency of 92% under rated load conditions. The converter’s transient performance with the controller is investigated under various situations, including supply voltage variation, reference voltage variation, and load power variation. Finally, the designed converter’s experimental model is created to evaluate the simulated and conceptual results.
