Abstract

A high number of research work is being carried out in the field of DC-DC converters to improve the performance of microgrid operation. The DC microgrid has a high level of acceptance because of the integration of renewable energy sources. In DC Microgrid, there is a need for improved DC-DC converter topologies which offer high gain, small size, enhanced efficiency, reduced voltage stress and reduced component count etc. A new Triple-Mode Active-Passive Parallel Intermediate Links (TM-A2P-IL) converter is proposed in the paper. The A2P-IL is designed by a combination of an inductor, capacitor, diode, and control switch. The proposed converter is derived by inserting A2P-IL in conventional boost converter. The proposed TM-A2P-IL converter operates in three modes and provides a high voltage gain without using a transformer, voltage multiplier stages, coupled inductor, switched inductor/capacitor circuitry. The other benefits of the proposed TM-A2P-IL converters are flexibility in the selection of duty cycles, reduced voltage stress of devices, small reactive components, single-stage power conversion. The proposed converter circuit, operating principle, steady-state analysis is studied for both CCM and DCM, discussed. The comparison between available similar type converters and the proposed converter is provided. The operation and performance of the proposed A2P-IL converter are validated through simulation and experimental work
