In this paper, a new transformerless buck-boost converter is presented. The voltage gain of the converter is higher than the classic boost converter, classic buck-boost converter, CUK and SEPIC converters. The proposed converter advantage is buck-boost capability. The proposed converter topology is simple; therefore, the converter control is simple. The converter has one main switch. Hence, the switch with low switching and conduction losses can be used. The stress of the main switch is low; therefore, switch with low on-state resistance can be selected. The principles of the converter and mathematic analyses are presented. The validity of the accuracy of calculations is verified by the experimental results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new transformerless buck–boost converter based on a ZETA converter is introduced.

A novel transformer less high step-up buck-boost dcdc converter is proposed in this paper. The output voltages of some sources such as fuel cell, photovoltaic are not regulated. Therefore voltage regulation is required to fix the DC-link voltage. Hence, a buck boost DC/DC converter is suitable to regulate the output voltage of these sources. The presented converter voltage gain is higher that of the conventional boost, buck boost, CUK, SEPIC and ZETA converters and high voltage gain can be obtained with a suitable duty cycle. In this converter, only one power switch is utilized. The voltage stress across the power switch and diodes is low. Hence, the low on-state resistance of the power switch can be selected to decrease conduction loss of the switch and improve efficiency. The low voltage stress across the diodes allows the prevent the reverse-recovery current problem. The proposed converter can be operated in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The presented converter has simple structure; therefore the control of the proposed converter will be easy. The principle of operation and the mathematical analyses of the proposed converter are explained. The validity of the presented converter is verified by the experimental results.
