Abstract

Over the last few decennia, power DC/DC converters have been the subject of great interest due to its extensive increment of utilization in different applications. A thorough review on recent developed power DC/DC converters is presented in this paper. The study is focused on the topologies in different applications such as renewable energy, automobile, high-voltage and medium-voltage DC power systems, telecommunication, etc. In addition, an overview of the modulation techniques, the state-of-the-art of control strategies of well-established converters are discussed. Photovoltaic (PV) systems as the noticeable renewable energy resources generally suffer from poor conversion efficiency with instability and intermittent characteristics. Therefore, DC/DC converter with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm is essential to ensure maximum available power harnessed from the PV. Important features of DC/DC converters with MPPT are also figured with various performances. Furthermore, the design and optimization of different parameters are addressed systematically. Finally, the researcher’s future challenges and focusing trends are briefly described. For the next-generation converters design and applications, these are considered in details, and will provide useful framework and point of references.
