Interleaved Coupled-Inductor Boost Converter With Multiplier Cell And Passive Lossless Clamp, Stephen C. Moerer Jan 2014

Interleaved Coupled-Inductor Boost Converter With Multiplier Cell And Passive Lossless Clamp, Stephen C. Moerer

Masters Theses

"As photovoltaic panels become a more dominant technology used to produce electrical power, more efficient and efficacious solutions are needed to convert this electrical power to a useable form. Solar microconverters, which are used to convert a single panel's power, effectively overcome issues such as shading and panel-specific maximum power point tracking associated with traditional solar converters which use several panels in series. This thesis discusses a high gain DC-DC converter for incorporating single low-voltage solar panels to a distribution level voltage present in a DC microgrid. To do this, a converter was developed using coupled inductors and a capacitor-diode …
