Abstract
In this paper, a new non-isolated two-input single-output dc-dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed. In the proposed converter, there are two three-winding coupled inductors used to achieve a high voltage gain and ripple-free input currents. The proposed converter has two switches, and their control pulses are the same as the control pulses of the two-phase interleaved converters with a phase shift equal to 180°. The voltage stresses of switches and diodes are reduced and are always lower than the high output voltage. The proposed converter is extendable to a four-input single-output converter in which the switches have the control pulses the same as those in four-phase converters with phase shifts equal to 90°. In this paper, the proposed topology is analyzed in all operating modes, and the values of current and voltage stresses of all switches and diodes, voltage gain, and required conditions for input current ripple cancellation are calculated during a switching period. Finally, the accuracy performance of the proposed converter is reconfirmed through experimental results for 225- and 298-W prototypes.
