In this paper, a new structure for a nonisolated boost dc–dc converter is proposed. The proposed converter generates higher voltage gain than some conventional nonisolated boost dc–dc converters. In this paper, the voltage and current equations of the elements and voltage gain in continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode are extracted. Then, the critical inductance converter is extracted and the current stresses in the switches are calculated. To achieve high voltage gain, a generalized structure based on the proposed structure generates for dc–dc converters. Meanwhile, the root mean square current relations of devices are obtained for an extended structure. Finally, the results of PSCAD/EMTDC software and laboratory prototype are used to reconfirm theoretical concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, a new structure is proposed for non-isolated boost dc-dc converters using voltage-lift technique. The increasing voltage gain in the proposed converter is achieved step-to-step by a simple structure. In the proposed converter, there is a direct connection to an inductor in input side which provides free current ripple for the input source. Here, the proposed converter performance analysis and their relations are presented in continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode as well as voltage gain equations for each mode in detail. Then, switching current stress equations in each mode and critical inductance equations are extracted for design considerations. Finally, the carried theoretical analysis and satisfying operation of the proposed converter are verified via experimental results of laboratory prototype. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new structure of nonisolated boost DC-DC converters is proposed. The operation of the proposed structure in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is presented. Then, the critical inductance relation between CCM and DCM is obtained. The voltage gain and current stress of switches are calculated. Finally, the validity of the presented theoretical issues is reconfirmed by using simulation results obtained from PSCAD/EMTDC software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
