Abstract
High step-up converters are often used in photovoltaic applications due to low voltage of photovoltaic modules. In this paper, a study of several voltage step-up cells added on primary and secondary sides of an isolated dc-dc SEPIC (single ended primary inductor converter) is made, in order to increase its static gain and synthesize a family of converters. To perform this study and select the most appropriate resulting converter, theoretical and comparative analyzes are accomplished. They include a brief description of each converter, tables and curves with relevant information, such as voltage gain, voltage stresses and component count, and the identification of the use of coupled inductor or transformer based on the analysis of dc magnetizing current. Moreover, theoretical analysis and experimental results on a 50 kHz and 200 W prototype of selected isolated SEPIC with voltage doubler cell are presented to validate the proposed topology and concept.
