    Author: Valarmathy AS, Prabhakar M.
    Journal: Sci Rep; 2024 Jan 10; 14(1):973. PubMed ID: 38200152.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, an interleaved DC-DC converter with high voltage gain capability is presented. The proposed converter is synthesized from a coupled-inductor (CI) based interleaved boost converter (IBC). For enhancing the voltage gain capability, voltage-lift capacitor, and diode-capacitor multiplier (DCM) cells are employed at the primary and secondary sides of the CIs. The proposed hybrid gain extension concept is practically validated using simulation and experimentation. A 185W prototype version of the proposed converter is switched at 50 kHz under laboratory conditions from a 18 V input to realize 380 V at the output port. The switches in the proposed converter operate at 0.5 duty ratio and experience a very low voltage stress of only 10.5% of the output voltage. Moreover, due to the interleaving mechanism, the input current ripple is just 11% of the total input current and the current rating of the switches is halved. Due to the adopted gain extension mechanism, the voltage stress on almost all the diodes is also significantly reduced. The swift dynamic response of the converter under closed-loop conditions is also practically demonstrated. Further, the beneficial features of the proposed converter are clearly validated by benchmarking its parameters with many state-of-the art converters which are available in literature.
