A New Voltage Doubler Based DC-DC 2LCm-Y Power Converter Topologies for High-Voltage/Low-Current Renewable Energy Applications

Abstract

In this treatise, a new voltage doubler based DC-DC 2 L C m- Y power converter topologies are uttered for the high-voltage/low-current renewable energy applications. L-Y, 2L-Y, 2LC-Y and 2 L C m- Y power converter categories are recently proposed in the existing X-Y converter family. To provide an effective and viable solution to renewable energy system; four new voltage doubler based converters (2 L C m-LVD, 2 L C m-2 L V D, 2 L C m-2LCVD and 2 L C m-2 L C m V D converters) are proposed in 2 L C m-Y converter category. The proposed converters are well suited for renewable energy applications which required high output voltage power converter such as a Photovoltaic Multilevel DC-AC converter system, renewable High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) applications, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) etc. The perceptible characteristics of proposed 2 L C m-Y power converter topologies are presented in detail. Working of 2 L C m-Y proposed converters with the derivation of Vo/V in is discussed in detail. Proposed converter topologies are simulated in the Numerical Computing Matrix Laboratory 9.0~(R2016 a) software. The simulation results are discussed in details and it constantly showed the high-quality agreement with hypothetical analysis and validates the functionality and characteristics of the proposed 2 L C m-Y converter topologies of X-Y converter family.
