Ultra High Step-up DC-DC Converter Based on Switched Inductor-Capacitor Cells

In this paper, a high step-up dc-dc converter is proposed. The main feature of the proposed converter is its flexibility in developing and achieving different high voltage gains. This converter comprises of inductor-capacitor cells and with a higher number of cells, voltage gain increases. The proposed converter's operation principle is based on charging in parallel and discharging in series paths. Operation analysis and voltage gain and voltage stresses of semiconductors are calculated and contrasted with other converters to illustrate the prominent attributes of the proposed converter. Simulation results, which have been implemented via PSCAD-EMTDC, are presented to validate the performance of this converter.
