Abstract
In this paper an efficient high power high-step up dc- dc converter is presented for interfacing distributed energy storage elements like, fuel cells, batteries, and ultracapacitors with the high voltage dc bus in Electrical Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV). In the proposed converter, coupled-inductor boost converters are interleaved and a boost converter is used to clamp the switch voltage of the interleaved converters at a lower voltage. Leakage energy of all the interleaved converters are gathered in one clamping capacitor and discharged to the output by the clamping boost converter. The interleaving and low voltage clamping of coupled-inductor boost converters enable to achieve high efficiency. Design and analysis of the proposed converter are presented. Finally simulation results are provided for verification of the proposed converter.
