A Non-Isolated High Step-up Two-Input Single Output DC-DC Converter with Less Number of Components

Abstract

In this study, a new two-input single output DC-DC converter with continuous input current is presented. Less number of components (capacitors, inductors, switches, and diodes) is another advantage of the proposed structure which leads to low cost and volume. The proposed converter benefits from the advantages of the conventional boost converter. A comparison with another recently presented converters is represented to illustrate the advantages of the proposed converter. Low input current ripple, simple structure, and high voltage gain are the main advantages of proposed topology, so the proposed structure is suitable for use in renewable applications that need maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Different operational modes and steady-state analyses have been represented. To verify the theoretical analysis, the simulation results of the proposed converter is provided.
