Abstract

A novel step-up DC-DC converter with a three-winding-coupled-inductor which integrates a coupled-inductor and voltage-boost techniques for a distributed generation system is proposed in this paper. The two windings of the dotted terminal connection are charged by the input source; the proposed converter utilized smaller turn ratios, and can achieve higher gain when the active switch is turned on. The passive lossless clamped circuits not only can absorb the leakage energy, but also lower the switch voltage stresses; additionally, the reverse-recovery problem of diodes can be reduced to improve the system efficiency. Furthermore, the voltage stress of the output capacitor is reduced. The operating principle and corresponding theoretical analyses are discussed in detail. Finally, an experimental prototype with 50 kHz switching frequency, 40 V input voltage, 380 V output voltage and 400 W output power is set up to verify the validity of the proposed converter.
