Abstract
- An advanced symmetrical voltage quadrupler rectifier (SVQR) is derived in this paper to serve as the secondary rectification topology, which helps to extend the converter voltage gain and reduce the output diode voltage stresses. The output voltage is four times of the conventional full-bridge voltage rectifier with the same transformer ratio, which benefits to reduce the turns ratio of the transformer and decrease the parasitic parameters. Also, low voltage-rated diodes with high switching performance can be applied to improve the efficiency. Meanwhile, all the diodes in SVQR have the same voltage and current stresses, which simplifies the thermal design. Furthermore, two output electrolytic capacitors are connected in series to share the high output voltage, and the voltage balance can be realized naturally without any additional voltage-sharing scheme. A clear picture is made in this paper to give a general framework and universal applications for the derived SVQRs for high step-up and high output voltage conversion systems. A dual boost converter is used as an example to demonstrate the clear advantages of the derived SVQRs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
