Abstract

This paper introduces a single-switch, high step-up DC–DC converter for photovoltaic applications such as power optimizers and microinverters. The proposed converter employs two voltage multipliers cells with switched capacitor and magnetic coupling techniques to achieve high voltage gain. This feature, along with a passive clamp circuit, reduces the voltage stress across the switch, allowing for the employment of low R D S o n MOSFET. This leads to low conduction loss of the switch. The diodes operate with zero-current switching at their turn-off transition, eliminating the reverse recovery losses. Additionally, the switch turns on with zero-current switching, leading to insignificant switching loss associated with its turn-on transition. The operation principle and steady-state analysis are presented and validated through experimental results obtained from a 140 W prototype of the proposed converter.
