Abstract

This work introduces a non-isolated high step-up dc-dc interleaved boost converter combining magnetic coupling and voltage multiplier cells (VMCs). The proposed topology features a transformer with two primary windings of equal turns, interconnected to each other, enabling improved current sharing, and multiple secondary windings that contribute to extending the voltage gain. A three-winding coupled inductor is integrated into the design, while VMCs not only boost the output voltage but also significantly reduce the voltage stresses on the switches, eliminating the need for extreme duty ratios. The converter exhibits inherent modularity, allowing for voltage gain adjustments either through the turns ratio of the coupled inductor or by incorporating additional VMCs. An in-depth analysis of the topology is derived, and an experimental prototype rated at 48 V/400 V, 25 kHz, and 1 kW is implemented to verify and validate the theoretical claims, achieving an efficiency of 95.12% at full-load conditions.
