Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to introduce a novel direct current to direct current converter that has a high step-up and is intended to improve the efficiency of voltage conversion in non-conventional energy systems. A large voltage gain can be achieved by utilising integrated transformers (BITs), coupled inductors (CIs), and switched capacitor (SC) cells in the proposed converter. The increasing demand for efficient energy conversion in applications such as solar power systems necessitates the creation of this converter. In these applications, it is often necessary to raise voltage levels to meet the grid's requirements. Our approach to this involves using MATLAB for simulation, as well as the dsPIC30F2010 microcontroller for hardware implementation. We emphasise both theoretical design and practical application.  The interleaved design results in a reduction in the output ripple current and an improvement in the overall reliability. The compact design optimises available space without compromising performance. This work makes a substantial contribution to the field of sustainable energy solutions, facilitating the transition to more environmentally friendly technologies.
