Abstract

This research work designs a high gain coupled inductor SEPIC (CI-SEPIC) based boost inverter. This topology presents low switching voltage stress, high output DC and AC voltage and highly efficient system, which makes it suitable for renewable energy applications. A seventh order system is obtained through dynamic modelling of the CI-SEPIC converter for which PID controller is designed to track the reference value. The extended sine-wave pulse width modulation (ESPWM) has maintained the high gain without compromising the efficiency and ensured low voltage stress on the switching devices. Simulation and experimental results validated that CI-SEPIC based boost inverter with ESPWM achieved high dc gain of 15.98, boost factor of 25, exceptional dc-ac coupling with minimum possible capacitance of 3.3uF, decreased device stress by 33% and smaller size of the complete system.
