Interleaved high step-up zero-voltage-switching boost converter with variable inductor control

摘要

An interleaved high step-up zero-voltage-switching boost converter is proposed in this study. The operating principle and voltage gain ratio of the proposed converter are presented. The variable inductor control method is used to regulate the output voltage and to achieve a high-voltage gain. The design procedure of the variable inductor with a double E core is also presented in detail. Finally, a 40 W prototype with a 12 V input and 100 V output is built to verify the consistency of the theory analysis. The highest efficiency measured is 84.5%.
