Abstract
This study proposes a new enhanced boost DC/DC converter with high voltage boost ability. The proposed converter takes advantage of a continuous source current with negligible ripple, and the start-up inrush current is limited as well. Compared with the traditional extended switched boost DC-DC converter, this converter generates higher output voltage while the numbers of components in the Z-source network of both converters are the same. Moreover, the peak values of the currents provided by the input source and crossing the active-devices are reduced. In addition, the ripples of the previously mentioned currents are noticeably decreased in this topology; thus, the losses are reduced. In this research, the operation principles in continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode, the voltage gain, and the parameters design of the proposed converter are analyzed. Finally, by presenting the simulation and experimental results, the performance of the proposed converter is assessed.
