Abstract

This research focused on finding DC/DC converters boost type with the best output through simulation methods by comparing the use of components from several boost converter topologies so that they can be used to maximize solar panel output. Several simulation scenarios are needed using PSpice A/D Lite software. Boost converter types that will be compared are Single Switch Cascaded Converter, Multilevel Boost Converter, Quadratic Boost Converter, Double Cascade Boost Converter and Phase Interleaved Boost Converter. The simulation scenario provided aims to see the converter output response to changes in load resistor parameters, switching frequency and input voltage. The load resistance value used is 1 KOhm, the greater the resistance value, the greater the output voltage value. The effective switching frequency is different in each converter. The converter type Single Switch Cascaded Converter has the highest voltage gain of 32.96 times with an output voltage of 988.8 V at the minimum switching frequency at 1KHz and with the use of the fewest number of components compared to other converters of 10 units. It can be said that the boost converter type Single Switch Cascaded Converter is the most optimal boost converter compared to 4 other boost converters.
