Abstract

The authors of this study suggest an improvement to their recently released quadruple-diode boost regulator (QDBC), which may be used in two configurations: without or with a voltage multiplier unit (VMU). This voltage multiplier unit consists of two switch capacitors diagonally connected across two diodes, or vice versa. During each operational cycle, energy can be stored and released through the switch capacitive filters and inductive chokes, increasing voltage gain and decreasing output fluctuation. ANSOFT/SIMPLORER 7, PLECS 4.9.5, and SIMULINK 2021a are further used to simulate the proposed regulator’s linearized version to investigate its frequency response and stability. Hence, to improve the harmonic performance of the proposed regulator, the authors of this study used a delta modulation current regulator (DMCR), sometimes referred to as a variable bandwidth delta modulation current regulator. The findings show that the QDBC has, when using the DMCR, a voltage gain of 1 + D / ( 1 − D ) 2 , an efficiency of 97%, and a shorter settling time of 0.04 s when compared to other DC-DC regulators (SEPIC, boost, and quadratic boost). Finally, to validate the theoretical analysis and simulation results of the proposed QDBC structure, a 250 W regulator prototype was built utilizing similar design exercise requirements.
