Abstract
In this paper hybrid non isolated and noninvertingCockcroft-
Walton multiplier based 2Nx
InterleavedBoost converter (2Nx IBC) for renewable energy
applications is presented. The presented hybrid boost converter
topology is derived from non-invertingNx Multilevel Boost
Converter (Nx MBC) and inverting Nx Multilevel Boost
Converter (Nx MBC). In renewable energy applications,
generated voltage needs to be stepped up with high conversion
ratio using a DC-DC converter at voltage levels as per the
application requirement. The advantages of the
presentedtopology of interleaved converter are high voltage
conversion ratio, reduce ripple, low voltage stress, non-inverting
output voltage without utilizing the high duty cycle, coupled
inductors and transformer. The main advantage of presented
topology consists in increasing voltage gain by adding capacitor
and diode into circuitry without disturbing the main
circuit.Moreover, the presented topologyis compared with
several recent non isolated high gainDC-DC converters. The
proposed topology is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULATION
andobtained results verify the validity of the design and
operation of converter.
