Abstract
A high voltage gain DC-DC converter is
proposed. This converter is capable of stepping up
voltages as low as 20V to 400V. The proposed
converter can draw power from four independent
sources which makes it suitable for applications like
solar panels. The proposed converter finds its
application in integration of individual solar panels
onto the 400V distribution bus in DC micro grids.
The proposed converter consists of Diode-Capacitor
voltage multiplier stages. The converters achieve a
high voltage gain by charging and discharging of
the voltage multiplier capacitors. The design and
component selection procedures are presented. The
simulation of converter is done using
MATLAB/SimulinkR2014 software. A 2W, 10kHz
hardware prototype of the base circuit with Vin=1V
and Vout=20V is also implemented in the laboratory.
PIC16F877A is used for generating the control
pulse. mikroC software is used for programming the
PIC.
