Abstract

This paper proposes a novel high voltage-gain LLC micro-converter for PV applications. The converter has simple structure and minimum components with low cost. It can realize high voltage gain based on the voltage doubler rectifier with the optimal turns ratio. The main power switches can achieve ZVS and the output diodes can realize ZCS in wide input and load range. By utilizing the voltage doubler in the secondary side, the voltage stress over the output diodes can be reduced by half compared to the conventional center-tapped full-wave rectifier. A 24-48 V input, 380 V output and 200W prototype was built to verify the benefits of the proposed converter. The achieved efficiency of the converter peaks at 96.6% and the CEC weighted efficiency reaches 95.4%.
