Abstract

Renewable resources are being explored to meet the increasing energy demand in the world. The development of RES and their integration into the grid necessitate a voltage conversion to match with the grid voltage. This conversion can be implemented using DC-DC converters. A high-gain DC-DC Converter with low loss is proposed in this article. Thus, the proposed integrated converter is obtained by incorporating a boost converter at the primary side of the flyback converter (FLC) and a VM cell at the secondary side to perform a elevated voltage gain at a lower duty ratio. The Switched Capacitor network is implemented to elevate the voltage gain. The dynamic performance of a controller can be enhanced using an FOPID controller. A comparison analysis has been done using the most recent topologies in order to confirm the superiority of the Proposed converter. A 100W experimental prototype model has been constructed in order to further validate the simulation results. The efficiency of this converter is demonstrably significantly higher than the current topology, according to measured performance. Therefore, it can be said that this topology can be used for applications involving renewable and sustainable energy.
