An High Step-up Interleaved DC-DC Boost Converter fed with PV

Abstract

The high-voltage step-up dc–dc converters are required as an interface between the available low voltage sources and the output loads, which are operated at much higher voltages. Examples of such applications are as follows. Different distributed energy storage components such as batteries, fuel cells, and ultra capacitors are used in the power trains of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), electric vehicles (EV), and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Telecom and the computer industry utilize the standard batteries, with low voltage levels, as back-up power source .The automotive headlamps, using the high-intensity discharge lamp ballasts.
