Abstract

Future transportation will replace the current mechanical combustible engines with chargeable electric vehicles (EVs). The DC-Dc boost converter is an essential part of such systems that not only helps to generate the required level but also helps to regulate the load voltage. In conventional boost converter topologies, their gain, switching losses, and high voltage stress across switches are the main reason for limiting the output power. Coupled inductor-based isolated converters increase the system weight and cost. Therefore, in this paper, a transformerless adjustable gain and non-isolated DC-DC boost converter with multi-port flexible power supply, reduced switch voltage stress, and considerable good range efficiency is proposed. The proposed converter is tested with the 100 W resistive load to test the desired characteristics.
