Application scenario evaluation of modified converter for quadratic Boost high gain DC-DC: taking the constant off time control mode as an example

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, due to the energy crisis and serious environmental problems, the use and development of new energy has become the focus of research. Therefore, the application of new energy technologies has increased the demand for direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converters. The improvement of converter capability effectively enhances the functions of DC-DC converters, which makes it easy for secondary converters to meet the requirements of voltage gain, and expands the input voltage range of DC-DC converters, thereby having a good prospect in new energy applications. However, due to the many drawbacks of the quadratic Boost converter, such as pressure rise limitation, high switching stress, in order to reduce the working pressure of the improved quadratic Boost high gain converter and improve its operating performance, it is necessary to optimize it. Based on the application scenario of an modified converter for quadratic Boost high gain DC-DC, and taking the constant off time control method as an example, this paper conducted research to accurately recognize the current status of the converter and improve the utilization efficiency of the converter. In this paper, four groups of traditional converters and two types of improved quadratic Boost high gain DC-DC converters were selected as experimental objects for comparative analysis of images and data. The results showed that the conversion efficiency of the constant off time control method in the modified DC-DC converter based on quadratic high gain was 7.03 % higher than that of the traditional converter, while also improving the conversion efficiency of voltage gain and reducing switching stress, with higher safety. This indicated that the improved DC-DC converter with secondary high gain has better effects and wider application scenarios, thereby better serving new energy systems.
