Full Soft-Switching High Step-Up Dc-Dc Converter For Photovoltaic Applications ABSTRACT: In this paper a full soft-switching high step-up DC-DC converter is introduced as an alternative approach to module integrated converters for photovoltaic applications. The presented operation principle and key equations can be used as design guidelines for component and parameter estimation in practical applications. The proposed DC-DC converter was verified by help of simulations and experiments. Power loss analysis based on the semiconductor datasheet values showed that the converter tends to achieve an efficiency of 92. 8% at the maximum power point.

CONCLUSION: The proposed high step-up DC-DC converter allows ZVS of the inverter switches and ZCS of the rectifier switches. The operation principle presented and the mathematical analysis of the converter can be used as design guidelines for component and parameter estimation in practical applications. The operation of the converter was verified with the 300 W experimental prototype and the experimental waveforms were found to correspond to the estimated ones. The major limitation of the converter lies in the diodes connected in series to the inverter transistors. The static losses in these diodes will contribute a major portion of the total converter losses. In the future these diodes will be replaced by MOSFETs, external snubber capacitors for rectifier switches will be introduced and the implementation possibilities of wide-bandgap semiconductors will be also addressed.
